This flexibility makes it safer and easier to use than the others, a fact that becomes most apparent in colder temperatures. If you need an indoor cord just to plug in a lamp or phone charger, the 10-foot Cordinate Décor Extension Cord with 3 Grounded Outlets is the best choice.

Unlike many inexpensive cords for indoor use, the Cordinate has a third prong for grounding, which provides extra protection against electrical shorts and shocks. John Drengenberg, the consumer safety director at UL, accepts these types of cords as a necessity when you need to plug in a lamp or a phone charger, but he told us that they are often pushed beyond their limits. The flat plug design allows for easy placement in tight spaces, and the 15-foot length provides ample reach.it features a compact, lightweight design, and allows you to easily add extra sockets for your devices without adding any trailing wires and leads. Not only that, but if you need to repurpose the cord, you’ll have a longer cord with more versatility. We enlisted the aid of San Diego Cold Storage, which has a million cubic feet of cold storage warehouses, with some getting as cold as 0 ºF. Unlike many of its competitors, the Cordinate indoor cord has a sleek look and a flat plug that won’t get bent or pulled from an outlet.

This can mess up different types of equipment in a few ways: Lights may dim, saws may not spin as fast, and some motors just won’t work at all.Drengenberg also told us that modern PVC coatings can last a very long time, but older cords, or ones that don’t go through any sort of safety testing, can wear too quickly. While it’s a solid budget-friendly option for indoor use, this extension cord should not be used outdoors or with energy-intensive major appliances or power tools. Stiff cords that loop and twirl across a yard or floor create tripping hazards that can be made exponentially more dangerous if, say, the cord is plugged into a running table saw. A 12-gauge, 50-foot wire can handle 15 amps, which matches most residential breakers and many older fuses.

Children protection: built-in children-care clip can bring less heat and power resistance, which protect kids from unexpected electric shock if children insert their fingers into the plug sockets.

Its 5-foot extension cord and rotating plug make it easy to use in tight spaces, while its wall mount feature allows for even more convenience.

We froze each cord in a zero-degree storage facility for two days, then tested them for flexibility. And if you’re planning on doing any home-improvement or maintenance projects, the cords we recommend are properly sized and rated for as much power as a home outlet can produce, making them compatible with larger tools such as portable table saws and air compressors.

At low temperatures, it recoiled like a spring when we tried to stretch it out, and it’s noticeably harder to manipulate even at room temperature.
