Review on πŸ”Œ Yellow Jacket 827362 Outdoor Power Adapter - 15-Amp with 5 Outlets by Kevin Griffin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Versatile, compact, best accessories and consumables

I've had a lot of splitters. Lately I've only been buying Yellow Jacket products. Each power strip has its pros and cons, but I have more of these adapters than any other because I like how the power cords lay flat on the floor, the cords don't get in the way as they all radiate in different directions, none of them Actual plugs or wall warts can interfere with each other because the distance between them is large, the device doesn't take up space on the shelf, and its lightweight, compact design makes it very easy to carry. I don't really use the cable lock or connector covers, but they would be very handy if you're on a muddy or wet job site where you're tugging at cables, or if that adapter is dangling in the air. so I'm glad what they are. The only problem I've had so far is that I can't plug it into my 20 amp Yellowjacket power strip, which has a large flat 20 amp outlet: the input plug on this adapter has a protrusion that only accepts the 15 amp plug , i.e. minus star. I have no use for this protection and of course it can be removed with a little work. Maybe it's some sort of strain relief, but honestly someone is unlikely to pull the cable in a perpendicular direction, and if so you can use a cable holder to stabilize the connector, so I'm assuming the protection is in there First of all is something like protection. a foolproof mechanism to prevent someone from being plugged directly into the socket which would clearly result in too much torque on the plugs and would definitely fall out of the socket, but why can't we use this directly with 20 amp extension cords? Instead, ask your attorney to add a warning label with instructions that it "obviously" can't be used in an outlet, or use some extra plastic to push the tip far enough to fit a standard 20-inch - Power strip fits.

Pros
