Metal 8 Outlet Mountable Power Strip with Wide Spaced Outlets - Heavy

In this review of the metal 8 outlet mountable power strip, the bottom line is simple: anyone who needs a tough, workshop-ready solution for multiple large adapters will appreciate this unit. The reviewer found the build solid and installation straightforward, and the single biggest reason to buy is its wide spaced outlets that accept bulky plugs without blocking neighboring sockets. It is presented as a practical, functional addition to a garage, workbench, or home office rather than a decorative or travel-focused power accessory.

Key Features

• Wide Spaced Outlets: Eight outlets spaced about 0.55in apart allow multiple large adapters to be used simultaneously without crowding or blocking adjacent sockets.
• Durable Metal Shell: A sturdy metal housing improves longevity and resists damage from workshop use compared with typical plastic strips.
• Mountable Design: Screw holes and included screws let the strip be wall or workbench mounted for tidy, secure placement near tools or a desk.
• Built-in Protection: A 1200J surge protector MOV module and integrated switch offer basic surge suppression and a convenient central power control.
• Heavy Duty Cord: A 6ft 14AWG power cord provides a robust connection and flexible placement around a bench or equipment area.
• Safety Compliance: SGS certification and rated 15A, 125V, 60Hz, 1875W mean it meets common safety expectations for shop and home use.

Who It's For

The strip suits hobbyists, mechanics, and small workshop owners who need to run multiple large plugs or brick adapters in a compact area. It also fits office users who want a durable, mountable strip for a standing desk or behind a monitor setup.

It is less suited for rack-mounted server equipment or for consumers who need slim, travel-oriented power strips; the metal body and 6ft cord make it bulkier than portable options and it is explicitly not compatible with rack equipment.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Wide socket spacing prevents large adapters from blocking neighboring outlets, improving usable capacity.
• Robust metal construction and SGS certification make it a durable choice for garages and workshops.
• Mounting tabs and included screws make secure installation quick and straightforward.
• Integrated switch and 1200J surge protection add convenience and a layer of safety for connected devices.

Cons

• The 6ft length and metal housing make it bulkier than compact travel strips and some users reported the length is longer than they wanted.
