I got this so I can set up an outdoor Movie Screen and projector.
I had put an outlet on the backside of my shed to plug in, but was always looking for a multiple outlet cord for everything.
Now, I just keep this with the projector and screen and only need one cord to set it all up.
It's a thinner gauge, but I'm not running anything that draws much power, so it's all good.
I would not recommend for older electrical equipment like an old table saw or old fridge. You should use at least 14 ga for that.
Good to have and with the the lighted ends, you'll know it's connected.
