| It's an annoying fact that power tools don't stay plugged into extension cords. The plug-to-plug connection isn't strong enough by itself to resist the wear and tear of work. Twist locks work well, but if you want to use them you need to modify all your tools and extension cords with matching twist lock plugs. It's expensive, time consuming, plus you can't easily use tools with standard plugs anymore. Most people just tie a knot around the plug connection. It's fast, easy and it works. However, knots are bulky, often get caught in debris, subject cords and tools to undue stress and cause potential safety issues. |

We love your extension connection and it saves a lot of aggravation and time plugging our buffers and vacs back in every time they come unplugged. I have tried velcro and tape and twisting the cord which ends up damaging the cords of our buffers which we then have to replace more often. Plus we are always stripping the prongs out of the cords by them being yanked on and coming unplugged.
We figure it costs us about a half a car a day in our detail shop with 5 employees and they all have the same problem. Needless to say our techs are much happier now. My son calls your invention the "extension connection" and so that's the name that stuck here at our shop.
Thanks for the quick shipping and good service

"I use the CordSnake™ in my rental sound systems. My customers have mentioned how much they love the product, so now we sell them in the store. The worst thing you can do to a high-power sound system is to unplug all or part of it while it's up and running. I can rest easier when I rent my expensive equipment out now that they are equipped with CordSnake™s. I even use them in my store to connect all of the power cords together!"

"I found that the CordSnake™ was very easy to use when attaching two cords together and I did find that if a power tool was knocked off a ladder, etc., that the "CS" did hold. I also liked the way that the "CS" held the cords together when wrapped. I was able to just throw them in my truck and didn't have to worry about them getting all tangled up. Other trades that saw me use them inquired about the "CS" and wanted to know where to buy them, as they had never seen such a type of cord. This idea of yours seems to be a winner from the trades that saw them. I really enjoyed using out the "CS" and the guys on my site had fun trying to break it, and tear the string out of it. We really put it through the ringer. I wish you the best of luck with the CordSnake™. I think it's a great idea.."

"We have three cord snakes in use on a large remodel/addition. Today I was using the belt sander with the one cord that isn't equipped with a CordSnake™. After the plug connection came apart three times I started screaming, "Where's my CordSnake™!" Great product-saves time & frustration."

"Yes, the CordSnake™ has proven to be very handy for live music, especially in live concert environments where cords are either being stretched to their limits, or effected by audiences who dance and move around quite a bit. During a live performance we cannot afford to have a microphone or a power source unplugged as it could damage our costly equipment and consequently end the show. I have also given one to my dad who uses it around the house when doing yard work with his electric tools... for he is known to stretch hundreds of feet of extension cords around the property for hedge trimmers, etc and has been frustrated numerous times by cords becoming unplugged... but not so much anymore thanks to the CordSnake™."
