Male on both ends is the simple way to get the 120 volts back to my service panel. Thx for the info, but never heard that it was dangerous. How so? I use the same HOnda to "backfeed" my service panel on my LOG home in order to run the TV and blower curcuit for my woodburner cuz we lose power weekly, particularly in the Winter. Will call my electrician first thing Monday and ask his opinion. Thx for the warning:))
You don't think metal ends sticking out, where it is VERY easy to touch them, is dangerous?
Easy to say I will always plug it in first. But, can forget. Grandson can plug it in, and touch ends. Just not worth it. Get a correct cord/adapter made up that does NOT have two males. Let us know what your electrician says.
As you say, people do it in homes too. Same risk, plus you risk killing lineman too, if you forget to turn off your main box.
