I originally got this for a snow blower since it stays flexable in the cold weather and it does. I no longer have the blower so I use it for my lawn trimmer. It is good heavy duty and the lighted plug tells you right away if you have electricity. Sometimes that saves you walking all the way back to the plug to determine why the until stops working. Mostly it is for me I have pulled it out of the handle, a glance tells me just push it back.
