4-for-Tuesday: 6-Outlet Surge Protectors with 2 USB Ports and Anchor Screw
- You know how each outlet in your house has a certain amount of outlets. Now, they have 6 outlets, and 2 usb charging ports?
- You can screw them in so they’re part of the wall.
- Like the soda named after them, surges are not super common but can result in serious problems. Luckily, these provide protection (against the electrical kind, not the soda kind).
- Model: A1-6S900J2USB, because these go perfectly with the fine steak that is your house!

When your friend Doug tells you he can’t make it to your upcoming barbecue because he’ll be doing some “electrical work,” your first reaction is to panic.
This is Doug, after all. Doug, whose foray into “DIY plumbing” required a “complete chimney drain,” a phrase no one had ever heard prior, not even the guy from the chimney company. Now, he’s going to be working with wires, so you’re thinking maybe you should call the fire department and let them know ahead of time, so they’ll have units available for the inevitable. (You might also want to phone the electric company simply to apologize in advance, on behalf of your friend, to all the men and women who will be working overtime when the entire grid goes down.)
But hold up. There’s a chance that all Doug is doing is installing these 4 6-Outlet Surge Protectors. Now, if you think that the word “installing” is a bit of an overstatement, hear us out. These are not the standard string-o-power variety surge protectors that you have to hide behind your television. Yes, they take up two outlets each, which is kinda annoying, but they can be screwed in like they’re a permanent part of the wall. In other words, they’re basically “outlet upgrades”: you get a few more places to plug stuff in, some USB charging ports, and surge protection.
See, no worries? Doug will be fine. He just needs to screw them in! Although, wasn’t he talking about homemade “unorthodox” drill bits the other day? Maybe you want to let his family know, so they can have the med kit ready…
