What it concludes
- Chain stitching extension cords can cause kinking, bending, and eventually breakage if done incorrectly with small loops.
- Unrolling an extension cord is much faster and saves more time than rolling it up.
- Making loops too small when coiling or chain stitching puts excessive stress and twists on the cord.
- Running too much electrical current through a wire that is too small results in voltage drop and reduced performance.
