I have a 100 foot standard outdoor use extension cord, the plain 16 gauge orange type. Over the years it has become kinked and twisted pretty badly. It is bad enough now that it is difficult and frustrating to use the cord. I am considering letting it sit in the sun to get pliable and then stretching it out in the yard so maybe I can untwist it by hand. Does anyone here have any tips or tricks to get it back straight again? Thanks for any help on this.
