I was out working in my shop (it's a garage, if you ask SWMBO, bu
hasn't had a car parked in it in two years) and noticed that a numbe of my power tools had really tattered cords, and some were missin grounding prongs on the plug. I'll even confess that six or seve years ago I had extended the length of the cord on by table saw b patching a piece into it with wire nuts and electrical tape. Let' just saw that the gleam of visible copper with 220 volts runnin through it motivated me to action.
Anyway, a quick trip to the local Home Depot and $30 later I had a ne
20' cord on my table saw. For miscellaneous tools like a router, ji saw and skil saw, I used some orange extension cords I had bought o clearance a couple years ago. I purposefully left the new cords on m power tools on the long side, so I won't have to mess with usin extension cords with them in the shop-- makesawdust
