Is it fairly kink resistant? All of my other cords tend to kink with time.

I mounted it on a reel and it unreeled and reeled back up very easily with no kinking

It is quite thick, so not very likely to kink. I've sometimes had tangling problems with thinner cords, but not kinks. If a little caution is used to be sure you don't pull hard on it without looking, there should be no problem. I use this cord in the woods with a chainsaw, and I really like it.

Ron - This is a very heavy duty extension cord. It will take a fair amount of voltage and amps out to 100 feet without degradation of the current. It is very well built and I doubt that you will easily be able to damage it, or kink it, without really working hard on trying to do that. The one item I will point out is that it is 12/3 wire, 100 feet. As such, it is much heavier than your Wal-Mart special extension cord. But for dependable power, throughout a long distance, this is sturdy, durable, effective, and a great buy. Tom

I have to tie the end of the cord around the handles of my yard power tools so with all the twisting the cord does kink near the female receiptacle end. Also, never use your cocked elbow as a form to wrap the cord when winding it up to stow. Cords have memories and will maintain these bends. These contribute to kinking. Despite not using this winding method, I notice that unless I entend the cord out. it still has a tendency to twist a bit if not kink

I have been using it for a more than two months and I if you fold the power cord not too tight (so that you don't bend the connector) it will definitely protect it from fraying.

Agree with Turf's comment. Plus, it's very tightly wound! In my experience, the "unstretched" cable isn't long enough for my needs. There is always some tension on the cable if I hold the phone on my lap.

I haven't found it difficult, but some ports are harder than others, you can still put a cord in it if you want

It feels like a vinyl coated cord. I've had mine for almost 4 months and I love it being able to hang out my sheets and washable blankets. The only thing that worries me is the plastic tension arm... I don't know how long that will hold up being the unit is outside.

No this cord is complete junk. I went to plug it in for the first time and it fell apart on me.

That's how I've been charging my car for the last couple moths without an issue. Cord is very thick and strong.

Hey. the cord is a bit too long, but the connection is the same, so I just have some extra cord stuffed in. Nothing noticeable on the exterior, just underneath, and no problems after a year of using it. So basically, yes.

I haven't had any issues so far. The only thin I don't like is that the cable seems to be rather weak. I recommend to treat it nicely.

It's LONG, but because it's long doesn't mean it's any less fragile. Meaning the seam areas where cord meets plug needs to be taken cared for. I've had 2 now (in 5 years) and that's always the break down place. (duct tape helps :) )

Yes. I did not have any problems with my ferel cat bothering the cord. She loved it and we feel it was definitely worth the cost.

Indeed it does. The cord is the "silk(y)" type. I immediately replaced mine with paracord, so I can not attest to the original's quality. The pendant, on the other hand, is great! The only degradation over time has been a wearing away of the gold-tone finish. Of course, I am very active and wear my pendant all the time; even when sweating, so the finish may last longer for others with different lifestyles or body chemistry. The wood is still beautiful and in fine condition (I take it off when swimming so it doesn't soak and I towel dry it after showering). Hope that helps.

The cord and connector are really high quality. Mine got stuck more than once on the bus seat or crevices here and there and resisted very well. Even my cat tried to nibble it once, and survived that attack.

I haven't had any issues with the wires tangling. I have three cats all of whom think the cord is a plaything, they chew and toy with it constantly. And so far, zero issues.

No, this is very durable. I've moved it around, plugged/unplugged it multiple times, and it works perfectly (after almost a year).

I have three in use right now on my patio and so far, so good. But it's only been a few weeks. I will have to report back after a few months to give you a true answer. The cords do seem sturdy.

Yes. And I can say that I use my cable daily and vigorously and it has held up perfectly to the abuse I have put it through for over a year now with no signs of stopping! The only weakness to this cable is the thin plastic shell with the name printed on it at the ens of the cable. Mine cracked and would have fallen off exposing the wires. A quick fix (and something I do with ALL of my charge cables) was to slip a 1" section of shrink tube over the end of the cable. This secured the original cover in place and gave me something extra to pull on when pulling the cable out of the phone, which is where most people ruin their cables in the first place...pulling the cable out of the phone by the cable!
