Extension Cords at Sam's Club

[Zrexxer]

Not really a smokin' deal, but a very good price.

My local Sam's has 50 ft 12 gauge contractor extension cords, made by Coleman Cable in the USA for $26 and change. About $20 less than what a 12ga 50 footer goes for a lot of places. I'd been needing a new one so it was timely.

good price!

 

[Zrexxer]

It's SJTW.

 

[tarbellb]

It is a SJ cord. These get pretty good reviews (other Coleman USA cords) on Amazon.

If you don't mind COO Costco has equivalent cord for less $.

More like it ***** to be you

These have been $26 for a while, so no need to rush out and get one if you don't need it right away. I got one a while back and like it, but it isn't as nice as my yellow jacket cords... still excellent for the price.

I picked up the one at Costco for $20. As mentioned it's 50' SJTW 12 gauge and a pretty good cord for $20. Not sure if it's Coleman cable or not, they seem to make a lot of the cords out there regardless of the brand?

Still thinking about picking a 10 gauge from Harbor Freight (100' and maybe 50'), those look like decent cords for the money (with a coupon) and I haven't seen many 10 gauge cords elsewhere at a price close to theirs.

Menards has an all-weather 50' on sale for $29.99, as well as a regular 50' on sale for $29.99 as well.

Not bad if you don't have a Sams membership or Sams nearby.

I'm spoiled, picked up four 100' 12/3s at Fleet on clearance for $30 a piece two years ago

It's SJTW.

Very stiff in cold weather.

NOT oil resistant outer or inner insulation.

NOT oil resistant outer or inner insulation.

Never implied that it was.

Just stating the facts for those who don't know what SJTW means.

Here is a better deal for a made in usa cord. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002HWRS7W/?tag=atomicindus08-20

That's a 25 ft, Chad. The one at Sam's is a 50 ft.

Sorry I failed to read.

Good read on extension cords.

Can you purchase from Sams without a membership?

Yes, at a 10% premium. It's called a One-Day-Pass. Looks like it may be dependant on the state.

Good read on extension cords.

Once you've tried TPE cable I don't think you'll ever want to go back to vinyl.

 

[Hpozzuoli]

Those look similar to the ridgid cords I buy at depot for like $40 and up.

If you don't mind COO Costco has equivalent cord for less $.

Do you know the COO on the Costco cords EasyTiger?

 

[EasyTiger864]

Do you know the COO on the Costco cords EasyTiger?

China I believe, I will confirm tonight.

 

[ishiboo]

The Menards outdoor cord for $29.99 is Made in USA...

 

[EasyTiger864]

No COO markings on the Costco cord and the packaging is long gone. I bet it's China, it's a $20 extension cord. My Chinese power tools don't mind.

I was going to grab one the other night but I had my hands full (a 1.75L bottle of Kirkland Vodka & a Ravioli Lasagna with Beef and Pork Bolognese Sauce dinner). I'll check out the COO next time I'm there.

I wish our Costco's down here carried liquor. Only wine and beer.

Here's a decent guide on extension cord safety.
