Fyi - Power Strip / Surge Protector, Single Shot Krazy Glue

[CurlingSteve]

I know these probably fit into the "DUH, Where have you (me) been" category but today was the first I'd seen them.

Power Squid is a surge protector/power strip combined with (very short) extension cords.

If you're like me, a standard strip (or UPS for that matter) doesn't handle the power bricks that routers and other small add-ons require very well.

One brick often takes two (or more) plug slots.

This product doesn't have that limitation.

It comes in both strip and surge protector versions.

-------------

I'm always opening a bottle/tube of Krazy Glue, use a couple of drops, then the next time I need it either the cap is welded on or the contents have solidified.

I just found a four-pack of mini toothpaste style tubes that are meant for single use.

And the caps are self-piercing,

Screwing the cap fully on pierces the tube and delivers around 6-10 drops, enough for a fast job.

If this is old, Old, OLD news - pardon me.

Might be Old-Timers disease.

Well, if you're behind the times, I'm right there with you, Steve. That surge protector is genius! Looks like it will fit in small spaces, too, where a normal one won't.

Now, Krazy Glue??? I just end up getting that all over so I rarely use it.....

If you want your super glue to last longer, you should

keep it in the refrigerator when you are not using it.

I was in Walmart today and they carry those Power Strips there, $20 if I remember right

Liz,

You're right. I got mine (surge protector version) at Linen and Things for around $30.

The strip version was about $15.
