From experience those are actually very good extension cords except the lock.  The sheathing is strong and holds up to being shut in doors repeatedly at the same point which is pretty impressive for a cheap extension cord.  The lock, however, is flimsy junk and only holds one prong of the extension cord.  This means if you’re working with someone who doesn’t know it locks they can easily think it’s just a tight fit and go on ripping a prong out of whatever’s plugged into it.  The lock tab can also easily break off in the locked position which due to its shape makes it incredibly difficult to unlock.  If you just snap the lock tab off and superglue the hub you get a nice extension cord at a good price though.

not too bad at all
