    I lost my speaker and tv plug and desperately needed them as I had just moved. This one was an awesome price and drive up the street to pick up. I didn’t have to wait another 2 days for delivery. It worked very well! 10/10

    Works as expected and is not too bulky, so it fits inside of my wall perfectly. Only con was the purchasing experience because when I tried to get these, they were so popular that most stores didn’t have any.

    Good pick up for quick plug in extension. Nothing fancy just easier to keep one quick access when you dont need 25 to 50 feet or just need a couple extra feet for a single item. In our case plugging in a bug zapper for a cook out. Indoor use so I wouldn't leave outside but higly recommend save some cash when you only need a little bit longer.

    Cords Got My Fans Where They Needed to Go

    I purchased these for my two new floor fans. The fans are awesome, but have relatively short cords, and to put them where I wanted them I needed more length. Not quite sure what I can say about these, except that they match the fans cords, and they seem sturdy enough.
