I have actually seen the kind of outlet you are looking for at home depot, might want to take a look there.

outlet, yes, i've seen tons of them there. i don't want an outlet, i want a cord end. they don't have that where i am. my shop is wired with a drop for the welders, but i want a little more roll around room for the cart, and since the cart has stick, mig, and tig on it, it's easier to get one extension cord that will do everything rather than get longer leads for all the machines.

edit: now that i'm home i did a little searching, and this is like what i want: [ame]http://www.amazon.com/Hobart-770644-Adapter-Cord/dp/B003V8BEVM[/ame]
i'm sure there are other ones out there too. doubtful it would get here any quicker though, and about the same price the local welding store quoted, assuming they get their order in soon, and it arrives son after that.

I have seen the kind of cord end at home depot. That is what I ment by the outlets, I just couldnt think of the right word.

Its called SO or SOOW cord, and both my lowes and HD here in N idaho carry it.

But i get way better prices from my supply houses.... like 1/2 the cost of the box stores.

thanks for looking. i just checked ebay and they have a 25' ones for $75. i'll see if i can pin down the local shop on when they will be getting their next order. i don't really want anything longer than 25' anyways. i work out of a 24x28 shop, and with where it is wired a 25' extension would allow me to weld something that was 30-35' away from the shop as it is.

as far as local stores go, i checked lowes and they certainly don't stock the female plug here. i can't remember whether i checked home depot recently or not, but this is a state with an entire population of about 1.3 million people, so maybe we don't get the full inventory.

Cyberweld:
Coleman Cable Extension Cord - 230 Volt , 25' or 50' 8/3

Our local Fleet Farm stores have them in a Hobart brand. Check places that sell Hobart, perhaps. Only time I have seen them. I make stuff like that to fit my needs.
