It’s magnet wire because it has a thin enamel coating so you can make an electromagnet, motor, speaker or whatever out of it. But it’s also just nice 26AWG copper wire for craft or other uses. You’ll get (100) feet of it on a spool to do with it what you will.

The shape of this power strip—a lightning bolt—is so coincidental it might even be ironic. We’re not sure. What we do know is, we love this 11" long x 1-1/2” thick, (6)-outlet device, and not just because it’s yellow with a red power switch and we can always find it. Also because it has a 2-1/2-foot-long cord with a grounded plug, and it’s wall-mountable. Plus, it makes us ponder irony, which is powerful. Thor

We haven’t seen candy striper outfits since the 1970s, and our internet was down so we couldn’t look them up, but this braided, red and white, 8-foot extension cord sure reminds us of the old hospital helpers’ uniforms.

Don't wait or it'll all be gone. You get (4) pieces, 11 feet each, of 18-2 wire, polarized, black with a white stripe and eminently discardable spade-push terminals on both ends. (That's under a nickel a foot, cowboy.) Lamp cord, speaker wire, pretty much anything you run juice to.

Our 6-foot long beige 18/3 AWG line power cord with a female IEC plug (think: computers) is just the thing you’ve found yourself needing about 100 times in your life so far. Pick up a few and have them on hand once and for all. UL.

Hay! You need wire? Surely you have something you could bale with all of this 1/16” dia steel baling wire. You’ll get (8) 36” lengths of it. Toss it in the trunk when you need to reattach something to the car that duck tape won’t work on.

This 7-1/2 foot 16-3AWG gray power cord is hospital grade, which means the connections are sealed in solid (and see-through) acrylic so they won’t spark in oxygen-rich environments.
