Why is it unsafe to use electric power tools that need extension cable what can you use?
Almost all my life I have used electric power tools with extension cable. I have never found it "unsafe" or ever had any incident with that. - Probably just more garbage coming from 'teachers' who think they know more than those of us who just 'do it' knowledgably and safely !
Another AnswerWell, speaking as a 'teacher', I agree that it is quite safe to use an extension cord with a power tool -in fact, that's what extension cords are for and it's probably safer than just using the limited amount of cord permanently connected to the power tool itself. There are some provisos, however; for example, if the power tool has an earth (ground) conductor then so, too, must the extension cord. And the current-carrying capacity of the power cord must equal or exceed that of the power tool. And it's best not to leave the extension cord on the reel due to the resulting increased inductance and lack of cooling. And, of course, there's the obvious safety requirements -don't drill or saw through it, or drape it is liable to become damaged or where people are liable to trip over it, etc.

What about Electric Showers?
Where do you get electric power shower heads? The ones I have seen are the 120VAC kind and manufactured in Brasil. Their use is simple enough; you replace existing shower head with electric one; run the insulated 10 foot cable up high and out of the shower to an outlet or extension. People I've seen using them in Latin countries swear by them, as they are very useful when the weather turns cold. These devices have two wires and may not be legal in the US.

What is the difference between an electric cooker cable and a bulb cable?
An electric cooker cable is designed to handle higher power loads and is typically thicker and more robust compared to a bulb cable which is thinner and designed for lower power applications like lighting. Additionally, an electric cooker cable may have different connectors and insulation ratings as it is meant for higher temperature environments.
What would happen if you were drawing power in a shed from an outdoor extension cable that was in the rain?
Probably nothing in particular; most extension cables are insulated and waterproof. If there are any non-waterproof parts, it's likely to be the ends; as long as these are kept dry the rain is unlikely to have any effect.
