Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Like the other reviewer, I bought this to use with my toro powercurve snowblower. It worked fine except the female end of the extension cord never fit properly with the toro's male connector. The connector blocks are entirely molded which seems to be a good idea for water/weatherproofing, but it was just too big. I had to jam them together and it frequently disconnected. (I was using the toro's cord lock system properly).
Anyway, I tried it out this fall with a toro electric vac/blower, and had the same problem, only this time I ended up with some melted plastic and some really nasty smelling smoke. It turns out that the connectors inside the female end of this cord are placed very far back into the molded block and there was very little surface area of actual plug contact, which led to the problem. (I was using the cord lock correctly with this one, too).
It could just be an issue with toro electric power tools but just be aware. Other than that, seemed to be a pretty decent cord - didn't kink a lot and I ran over it a couple of times with the snowblower and I'm still here writing this, so it's fairly tough as well... Can't give it more than 3 stars because of the odd female plug design.
