50 amp cords
When I connect my 50 amp cord to my 50 amp extension cord, I have a heck of a time getting them apart. Anyone know of a way to make that easier?

While the dielectric grease may make it easier to get apart it actually hurts your electrical connection. Dielectric grease does not conduct electricity.
Yes. Dielectric grease is an INSULATOR and is not intended to be put on conducting surfaces. It is intended to be packed AROUND a connection after it is already plugged together to keep out dirt and moisture. Even using it that way is NOT good for connections that are often unplugged.
They make conductive grease that has a high graphite content.
But just spraying a little silicone lube on the pins might help a little. They really do NEED to be tight.
