Overview
Plugging several tools or chargers into a single wall outlet on a jobsite is what this short cord is for. A molded power block carries three outlets, and a lamp glows through the clear plug when the cord has power. The jacket is vinyl over thick wire.
Heavy gauge wire and a molded block handle rough jobsite use, and the power lamp shows at a glance whether the cord is live. The limitation is length: at a couple of feet it adds outlets but not reach, and the spec sheet says it is not water resistant.
Who it's for
Tradespeople and shop users who need more outlets close to the wall will make use of the block and the glowing indicator. Users who need a long run or outdoor rating should buy a different cord.
Pros and cons
- Three outlets on one short cord
- Power indicator lamp in the plug
- Heavy 12 gauge wire
- UL Listed and meets OSHA specifications
- Only a couple of feet long
- Not water resistant
- Listing gives two voltage figures
Performance notes
Wire gauge decides how much current the cord can carry without heating, and a heavy gauge helps it sustain a full load. The molded block resists knocks on a jobsite, and the lamp confirms there is power at the plug. Watts across all three outlets still share the single circuit limit.
