    . . . The other day I needed to use a power tool right at the back of the garden, where even the 25 m lead will not reach.


    So I daisy-chained another extension lead onto it. Job done. What's the problem? . . . 



    The man problem is that at the end of a very long extension cable you may not be able to operate a 13A fuse if there is a fault.
