Will be doing this soon. Great Idea!
Great build! Very awesome
Great video 📹
Very nice video content. Thank you, sir.
Finally, a video that just gets to the point! Great video - Thank you!!
exactly what I needed to know thanks
Good job! Thanks!
This what I use on my shed too!!
Great idea!!! I got the GCP2 (2 outlet cords) and can get temporary power and really use my shed
Finally got these. Got the one with the plug and other with dual cords for interior. Idea is run ext cord from the pool pump outlet ( had electricians run 20A buried wire to Pool already). 1770 Run 12/3 ext cord to shed so just plug in now. Have a second outlet for a Cobra street light which plugs into the female outlet from the other end. For now the cords run above ground but run thru 2" PVC. So far the PVC withstood TX sun, weed wacker, mower, and 2 ice storms. Idea is to run a buried line from the 20A but this is TX, you are not hand digging buried wire. LOL. Trencher a must. So far the cords are working fine and the PVC has provided a sturdy temp protection until a trench is made. Like these plugs because if I want to change out the way run or cord size I simply unplug VS unhook wires and things change so if shed gets relocated other changes we are not locked into a line buried here so have to plan around that. A good 12/3 cord 75' still allows good watts and amps without heating and tool lag. Using a 14 I can tell the difference. I moved my DIY street lamp 14' with the potlet plug in shed I easily unplug it and run the cord and pvc housing to the shed, shorter ext cord too. If buried line it would cost to move it.
I like it!
Well done!
Excellent video! Just what I was looking for! Thank you! Liked / Subbed...
I did the same thing about 2 years ago for my shed/workshop.
Is it still holding up friend? Thinking about doing this to mine.
Nice. I need one in at lest a 20amp for my bandsaw. I'm sure I can find one.
That works, and I use that same basic product in a portable power station I built, but for a shed located quite a distance from the house we found that a couple solar panels, charge controller, inverter and LFP battery was the way to go.
How much did that run you?
@@arturoreacts - I can't remember exactly, but probably somewhere just under $1,000 for everything. Would be even cheaper, today, with the way costs have fallen on some of this stuff.
The outside is connected to the main house?
How would one install this in an insulated shed?
what can you run on this power port? Are you running any woodworking power tools
Says 15 Amps on it, i wouldn't go Crazy. lol.
Yes, the plug is rated at 15amp, but what really matters is what circuit at the main panel the extension cord that is serving as the feeder wire is on. If it's on a 15amp circuit that is consistently drawing 12amps, your gonna pop the breaker anytime you try to run a circular saw.
Can you hook that to a generator
Didn't get it. What is the difference from just using an extension cord which, I guess, you used anyway to plug in that port?
Seems like a waste of money lol
Did you use a standard extension cord or contractor grade?
I get what you are doing…but until you have full power permanently installed, and since you’re running an extension cord to this installed outlet, why not just run a heavy duty cord every time? What am I missing here?
I’m guessing the benefit of this is being able to run power, and work in the shed during inclement weather, with the windows and doors closed?
@captaincoyote1792...IF you listened to him...
I think the same. Why not just run an extension cord through the hole , that has multiple outlets?
Where do I find this at
Amazon
JUST DRILL THE HEFFER. MY GOD!
Why not just plug your surge protector into the extension cord that u are running to this waste of money? This us just another break in the wire to lose power and amps
