i have found them at lowes before. easier to just buy the cable and attach a couple of plugs. also at lowes or home depot or just about any hardware store.

| Funny, I've never seen the lord of darkness at any Wal-Mart I stopped at to get ammo..... All of the 12 AWG seem to be rated for 13 amps anymore. Looks like you have to get some 10AWG and a couple of ends. -tINY |

I think monoprice.com has great and really stupid cheap cables of all types. if they dont show it on their site you can call and they probably have it. Frost |

It's been a while since I've compared prices, but the last time I checked, it was cheaper to get raw power cable from Markertek than Home Depot. Might check it out.. Todd |

| Don't forget voltage drop
Definitely do it yourself. Cheaper and you'll feel better about your abilities when ya didn't burn the house down. Just remember (or learn) bout voltage drop over this distance and wire guage: 120V @ 100' for 15A with 18AWG cable drops voltage to 97v, so look for 14AWG which will only drop ~7.5% or better yet fo with 12 AWG with under 5% drop on that length 10/3 will drop 120 down to only ~116, so I'd go w/ either 10/3 or 12/3 cable for your situation
