If you're using it outside make sure it's rated for cold weather. nothing worse than fighting with a stiff cord out in the cold.

It’s for indoor use only but totally fair point as my shop is barely heated.

I concede the argument that offshore claims are untrustworthy.

I have run both my 250A MIG welder and my 200A TIG welder on a PA 50A extension cord (50 ft), FWIW.
