Nope, no good. This item may be discontinued and what's still available may be the dregs of this line.  It's increasingly hard to find.  And Coleman Cable now has a line called American Contractor that, as far as I can tell, is just a new marketing strategy for Polar/Solar cords.  May be try one of those.  Anyway, that's my speculation.  My cord came with the wires twisted and visibly deforming the insulating jacket.  Other polar/solar cables I've seen do not look like this.
