One problem i have with paying $4 for extension cord. May i ask what gauge your buying?

I know me i could pay $4 for a cheap one. But like Rich, Jeff Ronne all use and as do I is the 12 gauge heavy duty cords. Some use the heavy duty extension cords, but i prefer to buy it $1 per foot with no connections and just pay for a $3 male connection.

And as to the $4 power strip thats a little bit more reasonable. But i still like to go with a higher end one for peace of mind :)

Sorry had to chime in to see exactly what gauge cord your using for your ranco.

No the herpstat is ready to go out of the box.

Keep in mind that your 12 guage wire is going to do the same job as 16 gauge wire, which comes in the 4 dollar extension cord. I actually just wired another ranco just 5 minutes ago and it cost me 97 cents for the extension cord with 16 gauge wire and $3.50 for a philips power strip, so i'm a happy camper and my ranco works flawlessly.

Sorry but unless your using 20 feet of 11" wide flexwatt, i don't see the need in using 12 guage wire.
