8 Outlet Power Strip Metal Surge Protector - Wide Spaced, Mountable

In this review the ANNQUAN metal 8 outlet power strip is evaluated for workshop, garage and office use where heavy plugs and multiple devices are common. The single biggest reason to consider it is its combination of durable metal construction and wide-spaced outlets that let bulky power bricks sit side by side without blocking neighbors. Fit for fixed installations, the strip balances surge and overload protection with a long braided cord, making it a practical, work-ready power hub.

Key Features

• 8 in 1 design: Eight outlets with one switch provide room to connect multiple devices at once without needing extra adapters.
• Wide-spaced outlets: About 0.55 in spacing between receptacles keeps large plugs and power bricks from crowding adjacent sockets.
• Metal housing: Aluminum alloy construction resists dents, impact and rust for longer life in a garage or commercial setting.
• Safety protection: Built-in 1200J surge protector and a 15 amp circuit breaker switch help protect connected equipment from spikes and overloads.
• Durable cord: The 6 ft 14AWG braided cord improves wear resistance and makes it easier to reach wall outlets or a mounted position.
• Easy mounting: Four screw holes on the back allow secure wall or under-desk mounting for a tidy, permanent installation.

Who It's For

This power strip is best for people who set up a dedicated station and need reliable, heavy-duty outlets: shop owners, garage hobbyists, small workshop benches and home offices with multiple bulky power bricks. The metal case and braided cord suit environments where impact resistance and longer reach matter.

It is less appropriate for users who want ultra-compact or travel-oriented power strips or those who need USB charging ports built in; this model focuses on AC outlet capacity and protection rather than integrated USB convenience.

Pros & Cons

Cons

• Does not include USB ports, so users needing USB charging will require additional adapters.
• Metal body and size make it less suited to travel or compact desktop setups.
