The thing that's so sad about this is that extension cords are so cheap and so much easier to plug in than this mess.

You don't even need a pre-made extension cord.

You already have the cord. Cost of a realtively inexepensive heavy duty rubber grounded dead-front plug: $3.00 Mating socket $4.00.

Geeeez. I've actually seen people tap into 50-amp 250 volt receptacles in generators like that!!!

At one street fair a year ago I saw a cord stuck into a genny receptacle, with bamboo shish-kabob skewers to keep the wires from slipping out of the socket holes.

What's the going cost of a 50-Amp 250 volt plug these days? [Linked Image]
