16-11-2024I received my cord today in the mail. It works just fine! The maximum length of my cord from end to end (plug to plug) measured exactly 13.25. Close enough in my opinion. As others have mentioned, the polarization of the plugs are inconsistent. In fact, the very description does indicate that the female end is polarized but male end is not. Dont even ask me why theyve decided to do this, but it is what it is. I knew this fact up front, so again, no stars taken off for it. Heres a simple tip for those who are disgruntled over the polarization issue. What I have done was simply taken my multimeter and set it to the audible continuity test setting. Insert one prong of your multimeter into either slot of the female end and touch the other prong to either individual male plug ends. If it beeps or doesnt beep, you know which is which. Simply take a Sharpie, tape or a sticker and somehow identify which end corresponds to the skinny or wide polarized plugs. Voila! This isnt rocket science. Youll then keep your polarization consistent throughout your chain of house wiring, extension cord and whatever you have plugged into the end of it. Simple! I gave it a five star rating for the fact that the cord is advertised properly and by the fact that the cord seems to be of a decent quality, regardless of the polarization hiccup that I knew of in advance. If you need a simple ungrounded AC patch cord, Id recommend this.

> 3 dayNot much to say. It is a foot long extension cord and worked perfectly for my Christmas tree lights this last year. I only needed about 6in more. Would buy again if I ever had a need for a very short extension cord.

> 3 dayGreat small extension cord to use with a surge protector strip and electronics that have adaptor/transformer plugs that take up too much room

> 3 dayVery nice quality, quite heavy duty. I was actually looking for something a bit lighter weight but for most applications this is better: heavy duty and great quality

Greater than one weekThe cord is just what we needed for the project at hand. Did seem a bit expensive for what it is.
