The Truth About Coiled Extension Cords?


via IFTTT

 Extension Cords

Buying Guide

From cord length to amperage rating, here are a few factors to consider before purchasing an extension cord.

Number of Outlets

Most extension cords come with just one outlet that supports a single device. If you want to plug in more than one device, select an extension cord with multiple outlets 

Amperage Rating

Every power cord should have an amperage rating that signals how much power it can handle, with a higher amperage rating denoting a more powerful cord. Most extension cords are rated to support around 13 amps, though some models like the Southwire Outdoor Extension Cord can handle up to 15 amps.

Cord Length

Power cords can be as short as six feet and as long as 100 feet. If you need an extension cord to power indoor electronics, a cord under 20 feet should suffice. If you need to power corded tools like electric chainsaws, a cord that’s 50 feet or longer may be a better choice.

Number of Prongs

The majority of extension cords are equipped with three-prong outlets, though some indoor models have two-prong outlets. If you need to power a few device chargers, a two-prong extension cord should work. If you need to power small appliances or tools like electric drills, use a three-prong model, as this type of cord tends to have an extra prong.


FAQ

What does the gauge of an extension cord refer to?

The gauge of an extension cord refers to the diameter of the metal conductors it holds. Smaller wire gauges denote thick extension cords that can carry large amounts of electricity. For example, 12-gauge cords can handle tool loads between 10 and 15 amps. Many outdoor extension cords have small gauge numbers to support heavy-duty machinery.

Locking design of the Pakistan and similar knives. 


Lockback

At their core, lockbacks (also referred to as back locks, spine locks, or mid locks) are simply a derivative of the non-locking slipjoint. The lock bar is pinned to the scales of the blade, pivoting in the middle, and a bent spring anchored further back in handle provides upward pressure behind the pivot point, pressing the front of the lock bar downward. In the closed position, the lock bar sits on a ramp in the bottom of the tang which provides a detent for opening. >> Examples of lock back knives Use this link to see and purchase a Lockback knife.



When the blade is opened, the forward portion of the lock bar with its square protrusion sits down into a matching square cutout on the top of the blade tang, locking it into position. The cutout on the tang matching the shape of the lock bar means that the lock bar has to be lifted out of the notch to release the blade. The spring bar thus keeps the lock closed until the bar is pressed from behind the pivot point against the spring tension opening the knife.
