Plastic cords are the devils spawn......but refused to buy their power tools after owning one with a plastic cord.
I bought a portable Ridgid table saw, nice saw other than the fact the cord was garbage. I ended up cutting it off, wiring the motor directly into a permanently mounted receptacle box on the saw and running a 12 ft rubber cord from that. Now I can roll the cord up easily and I have a receptacle on my saw that I can plug my router into as I made a router table that fits on the saw table extension. I don't need an extension cord for the saw or other tools I'm using near the saw.
