Anachronist58 Posted January 13, 2022 Author Share Posted January 13, 2022 It was real fast. And in most every aspect, perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWISTEDWILLOW Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Congratulations! those bolt down male an female cord ends come in handy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anachronist58 Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 Especially if you use one male and one female. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I've refurbished a bunch but I sure don't hold a record on it. I'm usually slow to get around to it unless I need it now. I have even found some old two prong style for some pretty old christmas tree light style green extension cords. Any step forward is a great step otherwise untaken.

swedefiddle Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Happy New Year, Do you mean both male ends, on 2 different colored cables? Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anachronist58 Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) Same cable. One end has been out in the weather for eleven years. Yep, two male plugs on the same cable. With my arthritis, I was so happy that it only took six minutes to mount the new plug, only to.... oops! Happy New Year!

Daswulf Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Well, I did notice the two male ends. Wasnt sure what the picture was saying. Thought it was old to new. Dont get in a rush. Itll all work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott NC Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Now, if you did it twice we would start worrying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Honestly you are better to remove the 2 prong plug and replace that with the 3 prong female Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWISTEDWILLOW Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Lol, I thought you were just holding the one you cut off , I didn’t realize that you put on double male ends! Lol, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazer Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 What will they think of next over there in California. Wait.. Robert.. Is this some sort of improvised taser device to jab intruders with 120V? If so, you might want to find an extension cord that reaches out to the end of your property. Do they have stand your ground over there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWISTEDWILLOW Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Frazer, I’m starting to think your trying to spark off a jolting conversation this Friday morning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazer Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I'm just considering the potential for such a device. If it were me I'd hook it up to 240V. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anachronist58 Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) I needed to weld an extension on one of my fence poles. Tried to use a l00' 14-3 cord on my little HF dc inverter. Just a bit too much drop on the line to maintain an arc. Did not want to reinjure my back by wrassling the genset. So, refurbed the 75' 12-3, and dragged the end up to do a ring test. OOPS. Needless to say, I was a bit shocked... These two females were right next to the male. Swapped out, and got the job done. Will give you a laugh when you see the weld... I have a thunder stick for intruders - no need to bring the lightning... Edited January 14, 2022 by Anachronist58 addendum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
