8 Outlet Long Power Strip 2Pack - Heavy Duty Surge Protector with Wide

In this review of the 8 Outlet Long Power Strip 2Pack, the bottom line is simple: this is a practical, heavy duty power strip best for workbenches, garages, home offices and any setup that needs space for bulky plugs and solid surge protection. The reviewer found the combination of 2100J surge protection, an automatic shutoff fuse and a metal housing to be the single biggest reason to buy, because it balances capacity with safety in environments where devices and chargers vary in size and power draw.

Key Features

• 2100 Joule Surge Protection: Provides a high level of protection against voltage spikes so connected equipment is less likely to be damaged by transient surges.
• Auto Shutdown Fuse: The built-in disposable fuse and safety switch will trip on over-voltage, over-current, overload, high temperature or short circuit to protect your devices.
• Wide Spaced Outlets: Eight outlets with 1.69 in spacing let you plug in bulky adapters and odd-shaped chargers without blocking neighboring sockets.
• Mountable Design: Four mounting holes and included screws allow horizontal or vertical installation under a desk, on a wall or under a cabinet for tidy cable management.
• Heavy Duty Construction: Thick aluminum metal housing and a 100% copper 3-prong cord improve durability and conductivity for workshop and garage use.
• 6 ft Cord and Flat Plug: The 6 ft cord gives placement flexibility and the 45 degree flat plug reduces obstruction of the lower duplex outlet.

Who It's For

The strip is aimed at homeowners, hobbyists and small shops that need a robust, space-saving power solution for multiple bulky adapters and power tools. It is especially useful on workbenches, in garages, labs or under cabinets where mountability and outlet spacing matter.

Those who need smart features like timed scheduling, USB charging ports, or a reusable internal fuse may want to look elsewhere; the product uses a disposable auto shutdown fuse and focuses on basic surge protection and mechanical durability rather than smart connectivity.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High 2100J surge protection for improved electrical safety.
• Wide outlet spacing accommodates oversized plugs and power bricks.
• Solid metal housing and 100% copper wiring for durable conductivity.
• Mounting holes and a 6 ft cord make installation flexible and tidy.

Cons

• The disposable auto shutdown fuse means the unit is not reusable after a major overload without replacement.
• Some customers reported intermittent failures in rare cases, so long-term reliability may vary by unit and use conditions.
