Run a lead at full load while it is still on the reel and it will heat up, and that is the single most common misuse on a worksite or in a warehouse. Unwind it completely, every time. Length and current rating work together, because voltage drops over distance and a long light-duty lead will not run a heavy tool properly. Piggyback plugs save an outlet without daisy-chaining. See powerboards, power cables and cable extenders.
