<div>Sigh. I have to admit this in a public forum?</div>

<div><br clear="none"></div>

<div>It's a power tool. Comparable to a chainsaw. I wanted the gas version, but I'll use it maybe twice a year, it's <span class="yiv3660469740money">$40</span> vs. <span class="yiv3660469740money">$200,</span> and the electric one is about half the weight.</div>

<div><br clear="none"></div>

<div>I never thought I'd be the sort of person to own one of these, but here I am...</div>

<div>Guys,
<div><br clear="none"></div>

<div>I need about 300 get of extension cord. 16 AWG was fine at 100 ft. Can I string 3 of those together without a problem, or should I go up a size? Draw is 4 amps.</div>

<div>What sort of load? Resistive, or ?</div>

<div><br clear="none"></div>

<div>What sort of duty cycle?</div>

<div>What sort of duration?</div>

<div>In general, it's probably ok, but still wouldn't hurt to have some details.</div>
