It is 15 amp in an 18 inch 12 gauge pigtail. Will this work? Will I turn my 10 gauge cord into a 12 gauge, you know the weakest link thing?
Thanks a lot,

A GFCI adapter is not a circuit breaker... distinctly different purpose... so you will be relying on the circuit breaker of whatever you plug in to.
You already used 12/2 Romeo, so it is a 12 gauge circuit.
10 gauge still a good choice assuming a longer run as extension cord.
