When I read the article and it said they sell for $40-$72 my jaw dropped. You could make one of these for under $10 pretty easily. Hell if you were resourceful you could make it for free by finding someone giving away a couple plug in appliances for free and cut the cord and make it. Also I believe these cords are also sold for christmas lights if you hang them the wrong way but if used with a generator I believe there is risk you send power to the pole outside your house which is extremely dangerous if a linemen is working on said pole with the belief that the power is dead.

- 14 4y agoOf course but for many the solution is a cheap cord or hours of work taking down and rehanging lights. Many will opt for the cheap time saving solution.
- h2odragon 4y agothe suicide cord is one of those things that you make when you need it. The thing is supposed to look sketchy because it is sketchy. Like big ugly ball of duct tape sketchy. when you correct the error that required the cord in the first place, you disassemble the suicide cord as penance for having created such a thing, and to ensure that it doesn't find its way into use somewhere else.
