I think the easiest way is to find a heavy duty 5-20 "air conditioner" extension cord with the 12 ga "zip cord" and split the conductors.

How bout this? http://www.extech.com/instruments/product.asp?catid=30&prodid=114

He needs 5-20

The extech unit has the advantage of providing a safer means to connect the voltage probes. I can work around the lack of IEC 320 connectors. I have heavy duty line cords with a 5-15 on one end and the high current IEC 320 on the other end.

Assuming the x1 port will work if I push the current up to 18 or so amps for a short time interval, I can make this unit work.
