No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello sailorjohn,
We're sorry to read you're unhappy with the power cable on your tool. The head of the power cable is designed to be circular, this is to ensure the power cable from the unit can securely hold an extension cord and also to reduce any chance of moisture into the two parts. The head of the power cord is flexible, any universal single head outdoor extension cord will fit, simply squeeze the sides and insert the extension cord. If you have any further issues with the connection of the two parts, please feel welcome to contact GreenWorks at 1-888-909-6757 or through email to info@greenworkstools.com. We will be happy to help.

I clean have of my patio las week and can't way to do the other half next week. Love it
