Do these require watertight cord locks when connecting multiple strands together or using the extension cord ? Thanks.

I do not have more than one connected but I do have one strand plugged into am extension cord without cord locks. It rains here often and mine have worked great. Hope this helps.

Yes, I did use an outdoor extension cord with it. However, I also bought a water tight cord lock cover to protect the connection. See link below:Farm Innovators Model CC-2 Cord Connect Water-Tight Cord Lock - Green

The elastic cord just slips through an opening, then goes around a "clamp arm" that hold it. We just seared the ends of bungee to prevent fraying, no knots needed ( but you could put in a knot). Has worked well for us, as straight and looped bungees for a tarp.

I use a regular weight, outdoor rated extension cord, sometimes connecting two for a total of one hundred feet, and I have not experienced any issues.

They work great but are not waterproof connections. I suggest silicone all connections and heat shrink all connections you make to extend wires.

I used them for outdoor holiday lighting. I wound them up "elbow to hand" and them seem to be tangle free. Honestly, I haven't had any tangle problems with them (unlike the Christmas lights).

I have installed these on the outside of my boat and they have been subjected to some severe rain storms without any problem. Obviously you will have avoid making any wire connections in the water.

I also purchased the Farm Innovators CC-2 Cord Connect Water-Tight Cord Lock . it works really well.

If by thread locking you mean a way to hold the thread end like the crevice on some that pinches the thread or bases that snap to hold loose end, no these spools do not. I'm happy with the thread and have used almost every color but I do have threads dangling all off of the spools.

No, they do not lock together, but you could use a few zip ties and bind them together.

No they are just a 4 pin connection on both sides but if you are using them under water they will need to be waterproofed.

attach the non locking end on first--then attach the locking side and pull down on the cord..you need some tension on the cord

Dear Amazon Friend, YES ! My cord is certainly a Twist-lock connecting cord. It twist locks onto my generator and it twist locks onto my house mounted service box. Both ends. Not sure why it doesn't specify on this cord ? It is my understanding that all of these types of cords are a TWIST TYPE. But maybe I think that because all cords like this I've ever seen, did use a twist type locking end. Extra side note: This is a heavy duty, top quality made cord. Thick and strong, yet stays flexible in bad weather. I use this 40' cord when the weather is good but the storm has knocked me out. I leave the generator outside. When the weather is bad, like a long term hurricane situation with heavy downpours, I attach another 10' cord to this 40' cord and can then keep my generator under the cover of my carport. This brand cord works so well, I have no problem with the connection between the 2 cords either. They twist easily into each other and seal out the rain. Yes I do like this cord, and I'm picky and checked out many before making my purchase. Good Luck.

Not sure. I needed less than 100' so don't have multiple strands connected. I have a plug above my arbor so I didn't need an electrical cord either.

The cords are very pliable and soft. They don't kink. If there is a kink when removed from case, just bend in the opposite way and the kink is removed. I love these needles. The best I've had. They are a bit thicker than other kinds, but the yarn flows freely, even at the needle joins.

They can be tight from corrosion etc. I used a pair of pliers and mine came loose.

To be safe this item is not listed anywhere in the instructions for wet locations. To answer your question, on the site where the cable enters there is a piece of rubber that has a small round hole in the middle to attempt to seal around the cable. This is similar to one you would buy at the depot. It is designed for outdoor use and I use mine to connect to a generator plug on the side of my house that goes to a transfer switch. I built a small housing around it to protect it from rain.
