Extension cords are great things to have around the house for projects that require you to be far from outlets. Knowing which size cords to use versus the length of the cord is often needed to avoid damage to both the extension cord and the power tools connected to them.
To make things a little easier, I've conveniently put together a chart that gives you some insight to extension cord lengths, wire gauge requirements, and the safe amperages that you can use on these cords. Do you know which extension cord is right for you?
