    I do have and very much need a 50’ cord. I use it for my vacuum, polisher, Metro Sidekick, etc. and if it was any shorter I wouldn’t be able to reach the end of my driveway where most of the things get done.
    It's definitely a high quality cord, and going 50' you can't go wrong with a 12 guage cord. I actually bought mine when it was a cyber deal around Christmas and then got another 20 or 25% off. I don't remember the net cost, but it was a great buy. I want to say like 35-36.00.

    Re: Extension cords

    I have a 50' 12g cord. I use it for everything outside. I think it says "Yellow Jacket". Too lazy to go all the way out to the shed & look at the moment.

    But I've had it for well over 13 years. (Bought it the same year we bought our house).

    A tip I would offer to the OP is: Never "Tightly wind" the cord for storage. I make large (maybe 3-foot loops) when I coil mine, then hang it from a strap in the shed.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.
