5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing little space savers, September 20, 2004

If you are a gadget junky like me you can understand the frustration of only being able to use 3 or 4 of the outlets in your 6 outlet power strip. It drives me up a wall that all these transformer boxes for your PDAs, laptops, digital cameras, etc. are so big that they cover an unused outlet on your power strip. I had often wondered why the manufacturer couldn't place the transformer higher up the cord (in all honesty I have a couple of gadgets whose manufacturers did do just that).

These little guys are great. The cords are about 12" long and now keep transformers off of the powerstrip. They seem very strong and made of a heavy duty cord. My only grip is the length. For my purposes 4" - 6" would have been perfect. This however is extremely minor.

I bought two packs of these and I don't know how I have lived without them. I would recommend them to everyone.

2.0 out of 5 stars Ground pronging, December 4, 2004

This review is from: Carpenter Group 12PS1 Powerstrip Saver AC Cord Jumpers (5-Pack) (Personal Computers)

Very neat idea, I bought several of both models 12PS1 and 12PS2. The #12PS1 is perfect. The #12PS2 is a little less useful. They missed the bullseye mark here slightly by having the cord come off the plug at 90 degrees, but opposite the ground prong side of the plug. This means that if you plug into a wall outlet the cord will have to fold back on itself under it's own weight and may block the other outlet. Also on power strips with two rows of outlets, the ground prong usually faces away from the center of the strip. This means the 12PS2 cord blocks the other row of outlets, defeating the intended use of giving you an extra outlet.

The underside of my desk had several powerstrips but half the outlets went unused because of the oversized transformers. Using the Jumpers has resulted in the ability to use all the outlets and move the transformers next to instead of on top of the strip.
