Review on 💡 UL Listed CRST 16-Outlet Heavy Duty Metal Power Strip with 15-Foot Power Cord, 15 Amps, 1875W - Ideal for Office and School Use by Tom Lantz

After receiving this strip I was both pleased and confused by the length of the cable. It's sooooo long which would be great for some but too long for my needs so I decided to shorten the length of the cable and I'm glad I did. When I opened the strip I was shocked to see that with very, very little movement the neutral solder/weld joint broke. On closer inspection, the common wire coming out of the switch is literally a pin that slides into the gap of a thin brass connector and is not "fixed" in any way. The hot "entrance" to the switch is welded very poorly by spot welding because the terminal is curved and with some effort the wire came loose. I soldered all the connections myself and shortened the cable and it's working again, however I don't feel comfortable, especially with so many outlets, I see it's a major fire hazard even before I've reconnected everything. . Look at the quality of the materials used in this thing. NO WAY. Now I'm going to find a strip that's made in the USA, where I know it has to meet quality standards.
