And there lies the rub. Using a power cord takes some getting used to. It's important to always remember where the cord is hanging to avoid cutting it with the tool currently in use. Case in point is my new electric Black and Decker hedge trimmer. I managed to cut the cord twice in one day because I wasn't paying attention to how the cord was hanging. Two cuts, two repairs, and the old cord was fine, just a little shorter and more dangerous to use if the ground was wet. So it's been relegated to the garage.
The new cord is just as strongly made and the bright fluorescent orange color helps you keep track of it. It's nice to be able to purchase the same product again that has served you so well over a long period of time. This power cord should meet all of your outdoor needs just fine.
NOTE: My Stihl Hedge Trimmer cost me $389.00 and weighs about four times as much as my electric Black and Decker trimmer (cost $34.95). Using the B&D over my head to trim tall hedges is so much simpler than the Stihl, plus it's easier to use, doesn't take gas, doesn't have to be serviced, and won't cut deeply into your leg if you happen to let it fall to your side. (ER here I come!) When the B&D quits functioning at an acceptable pace, just throw it away and buy another one. You can buy 10 B&D's for the price of one Stihl. No muss, no fuss.
The item arrived as pictured and seems to be a very high quality extension cord. I did not test it but I couldnt imagine it having any issues. I bought it because I wanted to just buy 1 extension cord for all my extended power needs for anything around my house instead of a 10ft her and a 25 ft here... But once i got the item I noticed how thin 16 gauge is. It just did not look heavy duty and if I want a 1 size fits all I was looking for a cord that can be used for all things. This cord would be excellent and a GREAT deal for things like lights or smaller things that need an extension cord. But I ended up going with a 100 ft 12 Gauge so that I wouldnt have to worry about power issues.

1. All ratings are very conservative, as they were tested based on the worse conditions anyone would expect to occur and then some.
2. Current (Amps) limitations are to prevent fire, due to heat build up. Dissapating heat is a major concern, hence all the vents you see and fans you hear in your PCs and other devices.
With that said a cable laying on the ground, outside, and not coiled up, is going to disapate heat much more easily than a cable coiled up or inside a wall, the later being a worst case scenario and one basis for the ampere ratings. More amps more heat. Note that the ratings are based on 30°C (86°F), thankfully fall is much cooler.
From NEC Table 400.5(A)(1) Allowable Ampacity for Flexible Cords and Cables [Based on Ambient Temperature of 30 °C (86 °F).
Lists 16 gauge wire for;
Condition A* = 10A (listed rating of this cord)
Condition B* = 13A
*Condition A: The allowable currents apply to 3-conductor cords and other multiconductor cords connected to utilization equipment so that only 3 conductors are current-carrying.
*Condition B: The allowable currents apply to 2-conductor cords and other multiconductor cords connected to utilization equipment so that only 2 conductors are current-carrying.
The 3rd conductor is ground and does not carry current under normal conditions, thus this cable would more accurately fall under Class B (13A). This would certify 12A use.
There is another factor, the voltage drop in the cable. This voltage is not available to the load (e.g, leaf blower) and, if too great, would affect it's operation. The voltage drop in the wire can be predicted using Ohm's Law (Volts= current x resistance).
So now we need the resistance of the cable.
The AWG (American Wire Gauge) lists 16 gauge wire having a resistance of 4.016 ohms per 1000ft. That converts to 0.4016 ohms for our 100ft cable.
Aplying Ohm's Law the voltage drop in the cable will be - 0.4016 ohms × 12 Amps = 4.82 volts.
This leaves 120v - 4.82v or 115.18v for the load. More than enough for normal operation.
Yes, this is sized correctly and will work for 12A use without issue. Good to go!
One final note on extension cords in general, especially if using a cord reel;
Regardless of current demand (12A, 10A, 8A, etc.), to prevent heat build-up that could very possibly melt the insulation and create a fire hazzard;
=============》 !!! UNWIND ENTIRE CABLE BEFORE USE!!! 《=============

OK, so it's an electrical cable. It's well made, works well, and does what you would expect. It's a bit stiffer and thicker than indoor cables, which is good, and it hasn't caused me a bit of trouble. The price is about right compared to other vendors.
It is flexible so you it does not tangle up when wrapping it. You can use both both two or three prong plugs based on your requirement and the manufacturing specifications of the items. It is weather resistant so you do not need to panic if the cable (excluding plug) gets wet or temporarily submerged underwater.
