Review on CRST 10-Outlets Heavy Duty Power Strip Metal Surge Protector - 15 Amps, 15-Foot Power Cord - 2800 Joules - Garden, Kitchen, Office, School - ETL Listed (3165047) - 10-Outlet, Yellow by Jose Guevara

I also bought a smaller version of this surge protector rated at only 1800 joules so I bought this one thinking it would be the same just with a higher rating in J. . Well I'm a little disappointed in that. Unlike its younger brother, this one isn't UL or ETL certified, and there aren't any markings or ratings on the body of the band itself. Plus, it doesn't have any indicators to let you know if it's still protective or even grounded. The only bulb is the switch, which should also be a resettable circuit breaker, but I have no way of knowing what's going on inside... It might just be a power strip. The location of the sockets is also too close, as you can see in my photo, I wanted to connect a lot of different things to it in my workshop, but out of 10 sockets I got six, maybe seven good ones. when I hooked up my Ryobi miter saw with lubricating paste. The saw is designed for 14 amps and only a 500mA charger was connected for the cordless drive at the time. After about 15-20 seconds I lost power to the saw and found that a switch on this thing had tripped. Since it's not certified and there are no indicators on it, I wouldn't use it other than the glorified extension cord. The 1800 joules version is fine, but if you want 2800 joules of protection, look elsewhere. It turns out that the device is indeed listed on the ETL and I was able to compare it against the online ETL database, but I couldn't do this without knowing the internal model number of this device (LTS-10TS). You just forgot to put stickers. smsh! Also, they promised to add/enable the surge protection indicator in a future release. Such high marks for customer service but that still doesn't explain why my saw kicks in even when my saw is running at half power. Maybe the blockage is just bad?
