Title: Super convenient dedicated switches.
Review: Heavy Duty Power Strip with Individual Switches, 6 Outlet Metal Power Strip with Surge Protector. So far, this is the best power strip with surge protection that I’ve ever owned. It raised the bar for me, and now nothing else seems good enough. The convenience of having a dedicated switch for each outlet is awesome. I’m using it for equipment that can’t all be shut off or turned on at the same time. Some are on 24/7, and others are a couple times per day. Having the switch is so much simpler than having to pull on plugs or go to each piece of equipment every time. Mounting is easy as long as you measure correctly. The lights are plenty bright enough to see the status of each outlet. So far, it works great. We haven’t had any storms since we started using it, so I can’t report any news on that aspect, yet.

Title: Power strip
Review: This is exactly as described. It is heavy duty & love that you can turn each individual socket off-on.

Title: Good power strip, but not super heavy duty
Review: This is a pretty good power strip and is mostly as described. A lot of reviews focus on the per-plug switching, but the other good feature of this is that 10′ of 15A heavy duty cord. That makes this great for getting all the way from a wall to the middle of the action with higher-powered tools.Of course it does have per-plug switching, so you can also use this as a bit of a power distribution center. Each switch is individually lit so you know which plugs are hot. That makes more sense if you’re using it in a semi-permanent installation, however there’s not really a good place to put labels.Also, the switches aren’t super stiff and they’re pretty easy to hit while you’re changing plugs, so I would not recommend this for computer equipment or basically anything that can’t afford to accidentally get turned off. The angle for the plugs was kind of hit or miss. Sometimes it’s a big help, sometimes it made a plug unusable. This is better for power cords than power bricks.This might be metal, but I would hesitate to call it ‘heavy duty’. The end caps seem to be plastic, and the yellow metal housing is pretty light metal – it’s definitely thinner metal than any other metal power strips I have and I would be concerned if I accidentally stepped on it. I was going to use this in the garage but decided against it because I have concerns it’s not up for that environment.Electrically though it’s good. Individual controls, higher amperage, fused and with some surge protection too. That’s pretty good if it’s done right. So as a test, I plugged it into a guitar amp with an effects box that’s notorious for amplifying any electrical noise, and the sound was completely clean.I don’t know that you could call it concert-grade, but between the long reach, high power handling and clean supply I’d consider throwing it in the tour bag. And that’s a pretty good recommendation in and of itself.

Title: Excellent individual control, Not quite industrial grade, but very practical
Review: This 6-outlet metal power strip with individual switches is a major step up from standard plastic strips. The biggest standout feature is the dedicated on/off switch for each outlet, which makes managing multiple devices incredibly convenient. It’s perfect for setups where some equipment runs continuously while others only need power occasionally. No more unplugging cords or crawling behind gear to shut things off. The illuminated switches clearly show which outlets are active, and the long 10-foot, 15A cord provides excellent reach for my garage. It works well, I can’t tell if the surge protection is actually working though, but it does have a Green light on it, so I assume it is. I also like the spacing of the sockets, they feel wider apart than ones found on traditional power strips, they are still not quite wide enough apart for plugging in power bricks side-by-side.That said, while it has a metal housing which I really like, I don’t feel it’s really at the level of “industrial-grade heavy duty” it’s fine for using in a garage, but I think if I dropped something heavy on it, it would squish quite easily as the casing is lighter metal. I wouldn’t use it in a place where it could be stepped on or heavily abused. The switches are easy to press, which is convenient. It works well with USB chargers and standard cords, but the spacing isn’t quite there for using it with power bricks. Overall, it’s quite a well designed power strip that offers excellent control and flexibility for the price, which is 30.99 at time of my review. It’s a great option for someone who wants more flexibility and control out of their power setup. So very reasonably priced.

Title: Well built and versatile, this is my first line of power defense for my main computing setup!
Review: Coming from a recently failed high-end Monster power center, I needed something beefy to replace it with and this impressive yellow metal heavy duty 6-outlet power strip with individual on/off switches looked like just the kind of thing I needed. The individual switches even light up to indicate whether they are active or not. A green light indicates the strip is plugged in and working and having a well built surge protection device as my first line of defense gives me peace of mind. I like the sleek and heavy duty metal construction and despite feeling higher quality than my previous power stations, this one is remarkably slim and space efficient. Running the same demanding load thru it is better than its ever been in my main computing setup, with added versatility of being able to power off devices or power branches separately. At the $30-ish asking price, this is an amazing value for money considering many power accessories exceed this price without having the individual switches or metal construction. Recommended!
