Fellowes Six-outlet Metal Power Strip, 120v, 6 Ft Cord, 12.19 X 2.5 X 1.38, Platinum

After an acquaintance of ours sustained extensive damage to their home which was discovered to have been caused by an old plastic surge protector, I am in the process of replacing all of my home's plastic power strips and surge protectors with metal cased ones. Surge protection is being eliminated from the equation entirely. Unbeknownst to many people is that shoddily built surge protectors constructed with cheap third rate components can fail spectacularly after absorbing a number of spikes or transients, sometimes bursting into flames and setting fire to their cheap plastic housings, and anything else combustible in the vicinity. Quality surge protectors do exist, but at a price that is unattractive to many people. An above average quality power strip with a metal case such as the Fellowes Six-Outlet Metal Power Strip is a sound strategy for safe temporary power distribution in the home and office. I am very happy with my initial purchase of four units, and having seen and experienced the build quality, I will be purchasing several more and deploying them throughout our home and office. How many of you have decades old cheap plastic surge protectors and power strips tucked out of sight (and out of mind) behind living room and bedroom furniture, like a ticking time bomb with the potential to wreak havoc on your home and family? The Fellowes Six-Outlet Metal Power Strip is an inexpensive way to be proactive about the safety of your home and property.

Used it in my living room for my tv and etc,,works great and the price isn't bad.
