What do you intend to run off it, a trouble light, or something small, the HF 50ft will be awesome and give you more money to spend on something else. i have the Costco ""snap on"" it was $30 and came with a light, will handle any of the light stuff i ask of it.
then again if you are running...
I got these for my daughters play kitchen, LED lights.
They are Bright, and last a long time (my daughters is going on 3+ months and she uses the kitchen Everyday and loves to turn on the lights and leave them on for a few hours.)
I lived in Fremont, for about 10 years, no place to start or raise a family now.

who is going to pay over $250 for a basic corded drill.
