Do they work as they say 45 amps
For the cheater cord that has 2 30A male plugs it may also overload the neutral depending upon how the 2 pedestal plugs are wired.
There are other potential safety issues and the use of the cheater cord should be avoided.
For various reasons some CG's do not allow it's usage.
