Questions & Answers
Yes. I already had one of these in my garage. For welders, this is the most common designation. It requires a thick cord, so it should be able to supply whatever you require.
Yes. Two 20-amp circuits and three 15-amp circuits can be powered from it.
It's adaptable in the context of what it's supposed to be. This is a thick 8 gauge 220v extension cord, not a thin 12 gauge 110v extension cord.
Yes, if the ends of the ropes are the same length.

This cord appeared to be cheaper than its competitors. Putting five. The current through one leg of the cord was 000A, while the voltage across it was 0. 149V. This is equal to the number 0. The cable resistance is 029 Ohm. According to a calculator, a resistance of 0 is expected. It's good enough for me because it's 025 Ohms / 40 feet of copper!.
This is a thick cable, as others have stated. Someone wrote that it was about the size of a garden hose, not quite, but thick and well insulated nonetheless. I didn't have the problem with the female end being too tight (giggity) that others had.
Mine was a hair under 40 feet, but that didn't bother me. It's the size of a garden hose in terms of diameter. Fits standard NEMA 6 receptacles. The receptacle has a super tight connection. It was difficult for me to unplug my welder from it. I'll also be purchasing the 25-foot chord, which you should get if you're here. Where else can you get a chord of this gauge, with this thick of a jacket, at this length, for this price? I looked. Please leave a comment if you discover one. I'm always on the lookout for new chords to power my toys with.
To use with my electric vehicle charger, I needed a high-quality 240V/30Amp extension cord - This extension cord went above and beyond my expectations - a strong recommendation - With a high voltage and amp extension cord, you don't want to skimp on quality.
This extension cord was purchased so that I could use my mig welder on 1/4 inch material. I've run it off a generator before and been disappointed with the weld quality, so I was hoping that having clean power would help. I'm happy to report that it did, and that it did so without a hitch. My poor rating stems from the fact that while cleaning up after finishing my project, I discovered that the Male end of the cord had discolored due to overheating. I had assumed that this cord would be capable of handling the current. To see the overheated plastic, I compared the color of both the male and female ends in my photo.
Smooth on both ends, gripping with a firm grip while disconnecting with a light touch and ultra-smooth connections and disconnections. The neon light on the connector is a nice touch as well. The cable is nice and flexible, despite the large diameter of the heavy gauge wire. I can't imagine anyone expecting anything more from a power cord of this size.
When I went to pick up the extension cord that plugs into the max 36 amp draw TIG welder (HTP 221), it was scorching hot. It was just plugged in and not in use that day, but the spot where the wire to the LED light had burned out was hot enough to turn the skin red (see brown spot in photo). The cord itself is fine and appears to be well insulated and constructed, but because this LED wire short appears to be prone to melting and is buried in resin, I'll have to cut it off and purchase a replacement end, which is disappointing. This cord would be a fantastic product if the lighted ends were not included.
