Decided to make my own welding extension cord so i bought a 50 amp female plug and I guess I'll get some 6 gauge SOO wire so it can handle 50 amps in case I need to use it for something else one day. No sense in putting a 50 amp plug on then putting 8 gauge wire that's only rated for 40-45 amps, but why is this plug so expensive? I think for the male end I'll just use a basic 90 degree plug for $12 The plug is almost the diameter of a grape fruit.
