Kill-a-Watt Caution. I checked with the shipper and this cord has a lower power rating than the Kill-a-Watt you may be using it with. To avoid over-heating this cord be sure not to use with refrigerator, washer, dryer, air conditioner or other large power using appliance. Kill-a-Watt is rated 15 amps (1875 VA) and this cord is smaller, about 1/2 the amount of the Kill-a-Watt. We want you to be safe and avoid the classic "extension cord fire" from over-heating a cord.

These are fantastic, get this brand as they are a hevy 16 gauge and well put together. Very tough and durable.

Always buy the plus version with the pass thru. I bought the original version without it and although they let you use all your power strip or wall outlets you use up an outlet just for a wart which draws almost no power in most cases. This way you plug in the wart and still have a usefull outlet.

The inventors deserve all they make off of these. Kudos

What an awesome idea. I have a home recording studio and my rack unit has about ten effects, recorders, etc in it, each one with a wall wart or 3 prong plug. Using these little guys, I was able to plug them ALL into one power strip. In the past, you could really only plug about four wall warts (AC Adapters) into one 6 plug power strip since they were so wide one unit would typically hide two plugs. Take that same power strip and add 6 Power Strip Liberator Pluses. Now you can attach 6 wall warts AND still use all 6 of the plugs in the strip. What an amazing idea, and why the heck didn't I think of it first? Don't buy the cheaper knock offs...these guys invented this so IMHO they deserve the cash. A great product, solid as a rock, and a Godsend to those of us with waaaaay too many power cables to deal with.

Excellent product. Allows one to not waste space on power strips due to the large size that many AC adaptors take, often blocking outlets. What a simple idea, yet one that totally solves this problem, while at the same time affording the option of plugging in another cord. I use these at my multiple computer workstations, as well as for the guitar pedals for my band, Off Yer Rockers. Possibilities are endless.

These things are great to have around, as they free up space for giant adapter-type plugs, and give you an extra outlet to boot. Highly recommended for anyone drowning in cables. Construction seems very sturdy, and the wires are well insulated.

The Power Strip Liberator is perfect for freeing up those over-used power strip and surge-protector sockets --- the "piggy-back" feature adds capacity while allowing plenty of room for those bulky transformers that seem to be used with just about everything --- including printers, cable modems, routers, cordless telephones, and even some computer stereo systems.
Be advised that these units are for LIGHT DUTY ONLY, and must not be used to connect motorized appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines, room air conditioners, or any equipment that will draw more than 7.5 amps.
I was able to use 3 Power Strip Liberators to hook up 3 of those bulky transformers while leaving several sockets of the surge protector available for my computer and it's other peripherals.
A low-cost solution to the problem of clutter and congestion, I highly recommend this product.
The low price and speedy delivery are bonus features that make this product an excellent value !!
UPDATE: 10 February, 2011 --
2 years later, and my 3 Power Strip Liberators are still in daily use and working perfectly.
Thanks, Amazon !!

What a simple yet functional device. Great to use on a power strip or on a Kill a watt device. Gives you a little space and doesn't crowd the outlet. I bought several of them and wish I had a few more.

The Power Strip Liberator worked very well and keeps my cords looking neat as well.

I don't know why Amazon asks me these stupid questions like, "how much fun is this toy" and "how would I rate this toy's educational value." For one thing, it isn't a toy, it's just a simple but practical extension plug that allows you to use a power block on a power strip and not use more than one plug space. I guess it is educational in that if you put your finger in the socket while the other side is plugged in, you will learn something very quickly that you can hopefully live to tell your grandchildren about. The product is sturdily made and works. Not much else to say about it, except it is NOT a toy.

Bought this 1 foot extension cord to add flexibility to my Kill-a-watt 4460 EZ meterP3 International P4460 Kill A Watt EZ Electricity Usage Monitor/. Nice compact and solid construction...works great and has a second socket on the back side of the plug, if you need to plug another item in.
