Dan:
Actually, I have built two of these things, which I regularly use for servicing sound equipment and stage lighting dimmers and spotlights (along with an autotransformer for regulating line voltage and a custom-built GFCI box). One cord is equipped with small clips, owing to the tight working space on some types of equipment. I have not been able to find different colored rubber boots (other than red), so I use red for the ungrounded conductor, and black for the grounded conductor (neutral) and the chassis ground. Beside being able to see the insulation color on each conductor, I also use white and green tape on the black boots.
I've been using these for quite a few years with excellent results, aside from occasionally having to replace the wire when the rubber insulation starts to turn hard and brittle...a common occurrence down here on the coast.
Using a device such as this (or any kind of electrical equipment) near a sink really opens up a can of worms.
