It's still on sale, through 7/7. Today it is $22.55.

Go to Sears.com and click the "local ad" tab. From the "departments" pull down, select tools. You will see the extension cord at the $22.55 price on the list of tool specials.

If you can get in on the "deal" the better cord to get is by Prime thats lighted/locking. The advertised Craftsman cord may be tough to get since Craftsman branded cords are a rarity these days. The "deal" has ranged from 19.17 to 45+ depending upon website updates or inventory changes or region. Some folks have been getting cords by CCi that are not lighted/locking.

FWIW, I calculate the value of the 3 lbs of copper in a 50-ft 12/3 extension cord to be around $12 at wholesale prices (London Minerals Exchange May 2011) Probably higher now.

THere's $10.50 left if the sale price is $22.50. Dividing it into three operations:

for the first $3.50 someone ships the copper to the wire factory, then draws the copper ingots into 19 strands of 25 ga. wire, then twists the 19 fine 25 ga. strands into a larger bundle (12 ga.), shoots (injection molded) three colored insulations around three separate wires to three separate spools. THen spools the three insulated wires plus rope fillers into a large bundle which is then overshot with a large heavy PVC jacket onto a 4th spool.

So now we have the base cable... for what another $3.50 someone has to cut it into 50-ft length, strip and prep the ends, solder them to recptacle and plg contacts, place them into a large, expensive injection molding machine along with the LEDs and locking mechanism, then inject at high pressure thermoplastic PVC to form the plugs.

FInally with the remaining $3.50 someone has to test it, wind it up, and then stick some kind of cardboard sleeve over it, and then put it on a boat and ship it to the sears warehouse in America. Then ship it to a store near you.

I don't see how they can do it. Maybe they skip the testing...


Shoot, it's in my local store for $13.05...

The website shows regular price now($47.69) for this area. HF carries a lighted cord for about the same price.

I think they were substituting a different brand/ model cord at my Sears... The one I got had a different locking mechanism, and no lighted end. I'll keep it, but I'll miss the LED, as that's a really helpful feature.

Just a reminder that this is still on sale and that you HAVE to go though the "local ad" link to get the sale price. If you go to the regular product page, it shows as full price and you don't get the discount.

I'm just around the lakeshore in NW Indiana--none of the 12-3 at any local, but they do have a 50' 14-3 lighted/lock for $15.15 (or close, it's been a few hours) at the Michigan City, IN store local ad. Regular price was $35 or $39. I've got a pair of basic 14-3's at 50' already, so i'm not even tempted to make the 20 minute drive.

I'm headed to Will County next weekend--working on the NHRA Safety Safari crew for that race and then Norwalk, OH the following weekend. Hope to make it to Mr. B's at least once!!
