I have seen them in commerical wholesale business. Why not make your
own. Ten feet would not require large gauge cable.


10 guage cable will support up to 30 amps.

The main thing is 4
wire cable and 220v m/f connectors.


3 wire is all he'll need for shop tools, unless he's hooking up a clothes
dryer next to his table saw.

12 gauge wire should be sufficient.


Maybe - depends on the current draw of the tool. 12 guage will support 20
amps - likely sufficient for most tools that will plug into an extension
cord.

Keep in mind the longer the wire the less voltage at the other end.


Not at these lengths.
