Make sure it is copper wire, not copper clad aluminum wire.

I bought a 10 gauge extension cord from HF about 6 years or so ago. It's VERY rigid compared to other 10 gauge I've got and is a bear to roll up. It seems the liner is the problem.

Another alternative is buy cable in the SO family and add your own connectors. It is both very damage resistant and very flexible, so ideal for extension cords. Ebay might have the best prices.

When the Dr comes in and says "open wide and say "aaaa" so he can check your throat, I'll bet he's using a HF free flashlight.

A couple of pages back I spoke of my 10 year old HF 10 gallon compressor, no longer sold, that now needs the pressure control replaced. I found a photo. Anybody else have this model? Results?

I used to have that one, California. It was a good compressor. Never had any problems with it. Sold it when I moved in '05, unfortunately.
