Once in a while, I run across a home in which a contractor used extension cords made from nonmetalic cable with a plug spliced on to one end and a pair of receptacles in a box on the other. You would never see this on a large commercial job because it would be considered a safety hazard. The more creative guys attach the receptacles to a wood stand with a plywood base so a work light can be mounted. I don’t see any clear advantage to messing around with made-on-the-job cords like this when an approved 100-foot, 12/2 extension cord can be purchased for a modest amount of money and will last for years.
