Good morning, all,
I have read a number of postings here as to not using normal Home Despot quad boxes on a cord to extend power for the stage. The general recommendation was those hard rubber - type boxes - from I don't remember who (but I have it in links).
I've also read here that one should spend the cash on SOOW cords vs something like SJOOW or lesser rated cords.
So my question is about some of the multiple tap extension cords on the market - some of them from what look to be reputable theater production supply places. Specifically, I want to know if anyone has experience with, or has a reason not to use, this product:
