At 10A rating and the 75 foot length, it's best for Christmas lights (modest display!) or something like that. I wouldn't recommend it for power tools!

Don't waste your money on this or any 16awg extension cord. 16awg copper conductors are only rated for 10amps and can easily get overloaded, heat up and possibly cause a fire before the 15amp circuit breaker in the panel trips.
It should be illegal to sell any extension cord that has 15amp plug ends and is rated for only 10amps. These are the type of extension cords that cause house fires.
I recommend buying only 12awg copper conductor extension cords. You can use a 12awg cord for almost anything on a 15amp circuit without having to worry about it being overloaded, 12awg copper is rated for 20amps.

We have to remove the stupid people from the population somehow before they completely outnumber us.

I'm not running my good 12ga extension cords to run a 1 amp battery tender for my 96 tacoma by the barn.
Just use products properly and they are perfectly safe. This applies to everything.
Good enough to run some outdoor patio string lights couple times a month or invest in a better cable?
That's pretty much what this extension cord is designed for. Some people will tell you you need a 12 gauge extension cord to run your LED alarm clock. As long as your lights are under 10 amps, you are golden.
good point on using the right thing for your use case. 12awg is great, but its heavy. You want 12awg if you're running a tool, but there are plenty of cases where you don't need that much.

I would "invest" in a better product. IMHO these should have a built in fuse for 10A if they are only rated to 10A.
The problem too is that it looks like a cable. So even if you/I know not to use it for big loads… plenty of other people around the house who don't.
And the problem is that the failure method is "the cable catches on fire"
