FAQs

What are the different names for extension cords?

Many people call them by different names: extension cord, extension cable, extension board, extension box, extension wire, power extension, power extension cord, extension leads, or cable reel. They all serve similar roles but differ in form or features.

What is the safest extension cord?

For maximum safety, choose a three-prong grounded cord with the appropriate gauge for your device. Use heavy‑duty (12 or 10-gauge) for high‑power tools. Choose well‑insulated cords from trusted brands that meet safety standards.

What type of extension cord is best?

It depends on your need:

• Light-duty extension cords are perfect for powering small devices such as lamps and phone chargers

• Use medium‑duty for drills, sanders, or office equipment.
