Extension cords. 12 gauge wire!! 50 ft. 2-Pack. $38.88 Home Depot In store only. limited supply in my area. YMMV

Yes but I think its hot nonetheless. I've searched high and low for 50 foot cords with # 12 wire in them. And less than $20 each its an awesome deal. Mostly I see a cord like this going for at least $40 each, usually more like 50 -60.

HD sells the 100 ft version for $69 so this is a great price on a 12/3 heavy-duty cable. I would be careful to make sure the packaging says 12/3 and "heavy duty" though. Light duty is usually 14 or 16 gauge.

Just ordered a set...and FYI for everyone - My local Home Depot was out of stock and so was every store within a 100 mile radius but one that was about 2 hours from me. I called them and asked if I ordered it on the website with store pickup, if they could transfer it to my local store. They advised me that they can do that, that they do it all the time. Just throwing that out there.

ALthogh the gauge seems OK, this is listed as a thinner cord and as light duty. It also carries a different UL classification than the heftier brother.

I did some research and found out the "light/heavy" duty thing has nothing to do with the electric characteristic at all. All it says is the outer shell plastic quality.

Light duty == thermal plastic
Medium duty == thermal elastic
Heavy duty == thermal set

While this maybe important if this wire would go across a busy road, while I use it at home for generator or whatever, I do not really care what plastic as long as it hold in place.
Great deal OP! This is by far the cheapest 12/3 cord you can ever find.

I suspect it might have to do with the shielding/insulation or something. Looking on-line, this price seems fantastic for 100 feet of 12/3 wire. Thanks OP.

I've had zero luck finding this anywhere near me. All stores within 25 miles of me are sold out. A few stores further out show they have them in stock but it won't let me buy them online. I went to one store that showed 2 in stock but there was nothing on the shelves and an employee told me they were probably stolen. I called another store and was told they wouldn't transfer it to another store. A store about 75 miles from me will let me buy it online but the cost to drive out there kills the deal.

I could totally use a set of these.

It is a great deal though.

Anyone using any higher gauge for leaf blowers or generators should but buying these immediately. I had one leaf blowers catch on fire already. If you touch the extension cord and it's warm to HOT, stop using it.

I also had a standard cheapo 16 gauge 50 ft extension cord nearly cause a fire in my carport. Thanks OP, great deal, I was freaking out seeing $30+ 12 gauge extension cords when looking around. I was lucky to find one store near me that had 2 in stock, and it was the only store that had them.
