I only got rid of the electric
snow thrower because the extra heavy duty extension cords got extra heavy
to
drag around -- also, too long and the voltage drop ends up burning the
electric motor eventually.

The owners manual calls for 16 gauge up to 100 feet, which is plenty for me.
I went to Costco looking for a 12 gauge 100 ft cord with one female plug and
a short adapter to make it a triple they had for $30 CDN. Just my luck ,
none in stock.
Until I get a better cord I'll make due with my lawnmower one which is no
problem to lug around. (100 ft @ 16 gauge)
