Review on POWLIGHT Surge Protector Power Strip - 8 Ft Extension Cord with 12 AC Outlets, 4 USB Ports, 1875W/15A, 2100 Joules - Ideal for Smartphone, Tablets, Home, Office, Hotel - Black by Jason Rosekrans

worked a little over a month. then it only started to work when the cord was twisted just like that. I suspected an unreliable contact inside the device. So. after it stopped working and I couldn't get it back. Knowing a little bit about the main wiring, I opened it up and to my surprise the horrible solder joint that was barely tinned on the white wire came loose completely because it was wrapped tightly around the ground and the simple usual bend in the cable solved it. So you need to fix it yourself or buy another one. I had my hunch about questionable quality versus price, but 90% of the time, Amazon Choice items got decent quality at a lower price. THIS IS NOT 90%. It's poor build quality, horrible soldering and honestly if you bought this return it. You could start a fire with them if they're that bad. The first picture shows the gap of the white wire that needs to be wrapped under the 3 green ones to tin on the side of the connector that has almost no connection. whoever did it, he hurried and beat it up. the second is just glue in it and shows the tide again. 3. shows all 3 ground piggybacks. the lower part 3 is corrugated and not tinned in the middle. it was simply pressed while the center ball was hot. There's no solder at all on the outside of the crimp to hold it to the connection, so ground could easily be the part that didn't fry anything connected to it if it had to be dropped to ground. This thing is awful and I'm going to report it as a security risk and hopefully let it go
