I managed to cut the cord on my older Craftsman circular saw, Model 315-108350. On the Sears website the cord for this model is listed an unavailable. Here is the picture:

After chatting with a Sears service rep they directed me to this item and said it would work (only says Power Cord, $10.94):

At the time it was listed as in stock. After agreeing to pay $7.99 for shipping and being told it would take 10 days to arrive today, day 7, I get an e-mail that it’s backordered with no estimated available date.
Looking elsewhere online there are many replacement cords available for Skil, DeWalt, etc. Can I just pick one to use instead? What should I consider? I was thinking of trying to determine the gauge wire in the old cord.
After chatting for about 20 minutes to find a cord that was in stock and going to take 10 days, only to wait 7 and be told its backordered I’d rather find one elsewhere on my own and cancel the original order, instead of trying through Sears yet again.
Thanks!
