10-Foot 12/3 Black Outdoor Triple Tap Extension Cord - Your Name on Cord

hi today we're going to talk about chords extension chords some of the rules safety things that you need to know about chords first thing i want to say about any vacuum anywhere somewhere on the cord is some printing it's really hard to see it but the printing is right here and this printing tells me this is a 16 gauge cord now when i look at this cord i say that's 6 75 feet 50 feet 75 feet somewhere in there there are times when this cord is not long enough all right and you need to run an extension cord say you're vacuuming a gym and it's a big double gym and you have to go somewhere so what do you do 16 gauge cord would be really easy to go to this cord and add this to it but if you read the the fine print on this one this is also a 16 gauge so if you run a 16 gauge extension cord on an a machine that already has a 16 gauge you will that it's a very unsafe practice you could overheat
