What kind of extension cords do LV owners use?

SO.. I always wondered.. Do you guys do anything to pre-treat your cords? Ya know, to preserve it for resale or just to get the most years out of them?

I hear Apple Guard Rain and Stain Repellant is the way to go.. Someone said just to pour it on, get the sockets really drained and not worry about the slicks because it will dry fine. I don't know... I'm too afraid to stain the cream. I don't even know what cloth to wipe it off with! What do you use?
 
Introducing my well loved APC classic 8 outlet extension cord. This baby doubles as a bag charger, a crossbody strap AND still has more than enough power to charge small electronics that happen to be in my bag..... all at the same time!:graucho::laugh: Can't go wrong with the Noir color either.

Only con is it's too big to use as a bag charm.:lolots:

My lovely SA at Best Buy said not to put anything on it as the natural patina will protect it overtime.

AHHH!! How in the world did your SA snag you the noir?!? That is sold out EVERYWHERE!

I saw Jerusha did a YouTube review on that model but hers in the MM size. She says she "loves loves loves loves loves it".. She must have really loved it so much because it didn't go on her flash sale!
 
I just wanted to share my current extension cord family...as you can see I really have a thing for anything longer than 10ft and in the color orange. I'm thinking of adding some diversity, maybe a 5ft black with yellow highlights, any recommendations?

My old but gold family...notice how the garage floor brings out the patina

My LE 5-box extender...too bad it didn't come in the classic 6-box though. It just doesn't have enough plugins for my lifestyle so I use it only on special occasions such as powering the midway rides at the local fair.

How do you build a relationship with an SA at Home Depot? I always find them so snooty. It's it even worth it?

What kind of VIP gifts do you guys get?[/QUOTE]

In the state of California, the Home Depot SA will even let you buy your own shopping bags for your extension cord! :p:p:p:p:p Take that east coast friends!

Can you believe it was the LAST one they had in the store? I honestly think it was a display model but I don't care because the unit is in perfect condition.:D

I couldn't resist this key holder when I saw how it would match my "charging" light on my Prime USB charger, but now that I have it here I'm afraid the Poppy color does not match. Looks like I will need to return it to LV and continue my search for my HG [emoji22][emoji24][emoji22]


Love this!! May I know where to get it? [emoji7][emoji7] Can it fit in eva? Thanks [emoji4]
