Review on πŸ”Œ Amazon Basics Heavy Duty Metal Surge Protector Power Strip - 9-Outlet, 600-Joule (15A On/Off Circuit Breaker) with Convenient Mounting Brackets by Sean Spence

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The plastic clips don't hold.

The end brackets that attach this strip are cheap plastic. While the rest of the band is Metal and probably strong enough, the brackets are a deal breaker. My end screws were already punched through the plastic because they were overtightened at the factory. This means that one corner of the mount is already hanging down. Even if all 4 screws are installed correctly, these plastic tips won't hold. I don't understand why you used aluminum for the perforated strip and then saved on the most important part of the socket strip. Brackets are the only way to install the strip, and they hold a decent amount of weight and momentum from hanging cables when something is connected. In any case, I don't see these braces holding up a little bang on the strip over time. and you'll probably rip it right off the wall. If you don't plan to mount the strip, that might be fine. However, you don't get a good result as I just don't see these things sticking.

Pros
  • 125VAC/15A/1875W; NEMA 5-15P Inlet, NEMA 5-15R Outlet
Cons
  • Everything is OK
