Simple and easy to use! By swirthit
I was wondering how this thing actually worked, but for the cost I figured I'd give it a try. Looking at it on Amazon, I guessed that their would be some sort of O-ring seal inside the unit. Turns out that it's supplied with a little piece of foam, roughly 1/8" thick, and slotted to look like an outlet in your house. You simply place this foam over the male side of the device plug as you connect the cords, then twist the plastic cover unit over the connection to seal it. So yes, it is "water tight" to a degree, but I certainly wouldn't use it in any location where the connection may become submerged. Works great for keeping my power tool cords out of wet grass and deep snow. Same for the shop vac and buffer after washing my truck too. Would probably keep out all but the heaviest rains if used for a bug light, etc, as long as the connection wasn't sitting on the ground. Overall, it does what I need it to do.NOT watertight By Larry Leonard
This works great to hold two plugs together, but it is NOT waterproof. I have two extension cords going to the engine block heater on my tractor. They need to be left out all winter, so I bought this to keep the plugs from separating and to keep the connection from getting wet. It does a great job of holding the plugs together, and I had no problem with the connection shorting out, so it does accomplish that purpose, but it does not keep water out. It has a sponge gasket that goes between the plugs, and that is the extent of water seals. I had left the cords connected in a horizontal position, and when I took them down in the spring, I found the connector was half full of water. Hanging them vertically probably would solve that problem.cord connector By Marie Pierre A. Nailor
This is the best product on the market. I just came accross it when I was looking on the Amazon Website. I look for something like that several years ago but every store I went to didn't seem to know what I was talking about so I made some out of soapboxes for the time being. I have several fountains in my back yard and as you can imagine I have several electric cord connected together. Anyway I ordered 5 of these connectors and removed all my makeshift soap box and I'm thrilled with these. Best money I have ever spend. You will be pleased too.
