14m 240v Trailing Lead – 13 Amp – 1.5mm

The Faithfull 14m extension lead gives you a practical reach when a fixed socket just isn’t close enough. Rated at 240V with a 13 amp plug and 3-pin socket, this trailing lead runs 1.5mm cable across 14 metres enough to cover most workshop bays, garage runs, or on-site setups without needing to daisy-chain leads together. The rubber casing handles the kind of treatment extension leads tend to get on site: dropped, dragged, stepped on, and generally not treated kindly.

The lead is rated at 3kW (13A) when fully unwound, which covers the majority of corded power tools including circular saws, SDS drills, and planers. When wound, the rating drops to 1kW (4A), so if you’re running anything with a decent draw, unwind the full length first. That’s not a quirk of this lead it’s basic cable physics. Coiled cable builds heat it can’t shed, and that shortens its life faster than most people expect.

Where This 14m Extension Lead Earns Its Keep

A 14 metre lead is a useful middle ground long enough to give you freedom of movement across a room or workshop floor, short enough that you’re not constantly tripping over excess cable. It’s the kind of lead you keep in the van because it solves problems quickly without needing an extension reel or a second lead.

The heavy-duty rubber casing is the detail that separates this from a household extension lead. Domestic leads use thinner, more brittle PVC that cracks under cold temperatures and splits when dragged across concrete. The rubber casing on this Faithfull lead takes the rough treatment without complaint, and gives a degree of protection if the lead gets caught under a boot or a wheel.

Running Power Tools From This Lead

Most standard corded power tools drills, jigsaws, belt sanders, small angle grinders draw well under 3kW and will run comfortably from this lead fully unwound. If you’re running a transformer for 110V tools, the transformer itself will determine your load, but the lead will handle it. Just keep the full length unwound and check the transformer’s input rating before you start.

The 13 amp plug and 3-pin socket are standard UK fittings, so there’s nothing unusual about the connection plug in, work, done. The socket is fitted at the far end with no mid-lead outlets, which keeps things tidy and reduces snag points when you’re moving around.

For tradespeople who spend time on site or in workshops, a reliable 14m extension lead is one of those things you only notice when it lets you down. The Faithfull build quality means that’s not a conversation you’ll be having on this one.
