8-Outlet Long Metal Heavy Duty Power Strip - Wide Spaced Outlets

In this review the 8-Outlet Long Metal Heavy Duty Power Strip is examined for workshop, garage, and office use; the bottom line is that it suits anyone who needs a rugged, wall-mountable strip with widely spaced sockets and a low-profile plug. Our review finds the metal housing and 8 wide spaced outlets to be the single biggest reason to consider this strip, since it accommodates bulky adapters without crowding and feels built to withstand rougher environments.

Key Features

• Angled flat plug: The 45-degree right-angled thin flat plug lets the strip fit behind furniture and avoids blocking the lower duplex outlet so devices remain accessible.
• Wide spaced outlets: With about 2.56in between jacks, the layout accepts larger adapters and power bricks without forcing adjacent plugs to compete for space.
• Eight outlets in one: The unit provides eight AC sockets on a single metal bar, reducing the need for multiple strips when powering workstations or shop benches.
• Durable metal housing: An extruded aluminum body gives the strip a sturdy feel that resists impacts and suits garages, workshops, and heavier duty use compared with plastic strips.
• Built-in protection: A 15A circuit breaker integrated as a power switch offers overload protection to help safeguard connected equipment.
• Convenient cord length: The 6ft UL 14AWG cord is long enough for typical bench or wall-mounted installations while meeting recognized safety listings.

Who It's For

The strip is ideal for DIYers, small workshop owners, and home office users who routinely plug in bulky adapters or multiple tools and need a rugged, mountable solution. Its metal construction and wide-spaced outlets make it practical for bench-top power distribution where plugs with large bodies are common.

It is less appropriate for users who require surge suppression or advanced power conditioning, or for those who prioritize lightweight portable strips for travel. If you need surge protection or USB charging built in, a different model would be a better fit.
