      The current with this helps.
      The tool at once you dont overload the same circuit both garage outlets are probably on the same circuit which means youre not going to be able to use more than one power tool at once you dont overload the circuit anyway.

      The extension cord should be say 14 gauge though 16 gauge..,but truthfully I recommend and think it is best to practice SAFETY first and to leave your power tools disconnected unless you are using them at the same time on a particular project. You never know who might come along and flip switch/press button.

      Hope the Above Info Helps!
