Griot's DA - Heavy Duty or No?

[CC268]

The thread title says it all. Is it worth the extra cash for the HD model with the longer cord?

I have the 3" and 6" both with the HD cord. Absolutely worth the money.

+1. Wish alll my devices had the long cord, but most other than Griots charge stupid $ for an extra 15 feet of cord.

I wish I had ordered the HD version. Less extension cord right gauge wire.

Another vote for the HD version.

As an alternative you can use this extension cord Husky 12 ft. 16/2 Extension Cord-AW62611 - The Home Depot

Since it's a two way cord (like the Griot's DA) it doesn't have a huge female end so I just taped it to the Griot's cord and leave it there permantly.

Isn't the idea of going with the heavy duty model is the 25' cord rather than introduce the additional resistance and possible voltage drop with the addition of the connector and cord.

I doubt there is any difference between the 25' cord on the HD version and the standard 10' cord and a 12' extension as far as voltage drop. Groit's customer service said it was fine and the only time you run into problems is much longer extension cords. Never had a problem with mine in over four years.
