@benj While I would prefer a wall-hugging plug, they are still worth the price, and I have some locations where a flat plug isn’t needed.

@PhysAssist I bought two 6’ cord, flat plug, three outlet power strips at Amazon in June for $5.39 for the pair. They are still available now for $11.25 a pair under Amazon Basics Indoor Extension Cord Power Strip. Waiting for a price drop to purchase again.
Wow. I’ve been able to witness it, the ultra-rare copy-fail. I mean, obviously, serge protection is when you properly use your sewing machine to keep the fabric of your hems from unravelling. I mean! Sergio… my aunt Fanny.
What I really want is a decent strip at an attractive price with three 60W PD-capable sockets, two of which should be USB-C. For under $25. With a flat plug. And a superflex braided-cover cord. In purple. With no blue LEDs anywhere. Before Xmas.
I predict that I will be disappointed yet again. (In this specific instance, I intentionally set the target well out of reach so that there was zero chance that I’d actually have to buy the thing. I have way too many wall warts and power strips already.)
@werehatrack That’s almost exactly what I need, down to the color! I go to the beach every summer with three families, and to the extent I can, everything I bring is purple, to mark it for other people’s kids as mine.
That’s a higher rating than I’ve seen pretty much anywhere else. I had to seek out a GE branded surge protector with a 3000J rating. 5610 joules is… a lot. Like, suspiciously more than anything else in its class.
There’s also no detail on which wires are bonded with a varistor. Ideally, a surge protector protects on all three wires (hot, neutral, and ground all need protection) but some cheaper ones don’t do this.
Anyway, I’m all set for surge protection so this isn’t tempting to me despite reservations, but a good reminder to anyone that you shouldn’t connect a surge protector to a surge protector. That usually voids the warranty, and doesn’t provide a second level of defense like you might think.

This deal is shocking!
Socket to me!!
That’s a lot of Joules (not to be confused with Julie) for such a small strip.
@hchavers The Julie I know likes to keep a slim, trim strip as well.
What’s the cord length on the 6 outlet version?
@Ghlitch Amazon says 6ft.
A flat plug against the wall would have sold me. This standard plug in, not so much.
@benj While I would prefer a wall-hugging plug, they are still worth the price, and I have some locations where a flat plug isn’t needed.

@benj I just got a two-pack on Amazon with the flat plugs for about the same price. They also had a braided cord covering.
@benj @PhysAssist But not every power strip is a surge protector, right? The Amazon ones aren’t.
@kostia That is not always a disadvantage.
@kostia @PhysAssist True…but I have some locations where a surge protector isn’t needed! I’ll save my money and pass on these.
> ‘Serge protection’ is a phrase not unlike ‘biweekly,’ which can mean twice a week or every other week.
In Associated Press (AP) style, “biweekly” means every other week.
Of course, the real solution is to avoid the word entirely and to write “every other week”.
@andymand And serge protection would guard against a type of twill fabric often used in making military uniforms (and other things).
@werehatrack Love it. (I thought that’s where the writeup was going to go!)
6-outlet sold out- that makes my choice easier.

@bobmatic Or if they really wanted to go with a person, it should have been this guy:
Wow, if this can stop the pain if I get hit in the joules…
@eeterrific Be careful what you ask for. It eats the joules to prevent the pain.
Serge protection: Helps prevent self-righteous suicide?

Hmmmm, might be ok if it worked, light is on but no power
