For an electric leaf blower that operates at 12 amps, you should use a 14-gauge extension cord. This gauge wire is suitable for handling the electrical load without overheating or causing a voltage drop over long distances. Make sure to check the manufacturer's recommendations for the specific model of leaf blower you have.
