Use:
These cords are great for use on wall power outlet that you want something to push against it. I used these for my TV mount and pushing my coffee maker flush against the wall. I would not suggest these extension cords for power strips, they take up too much space (try Ziotek ZT1212542 Power Strip Liberator 14-Inch Extension, 5-Pack)

Quality:
The cord is 16 AWG, which is thick, and it is sturdy. The cord is rated at 13A, 125V, 1625W. It is also designed so that you can use two of these cords in one outlet and the plug only sticks out 1/2 an inch (See the picture I added)

Overall, I am very pleased with this product and it is a great value (5 for $17 vs 1 for $10 Cables To Go - 29804 - Flat Plug Power Strip Plus)

It's a great product for outlets behind desks, bookshelves, etc. or if you just need a few feet of extension. It's sturdy and feels well made. Whatever you plug into the Liberator will stay - it has a nice grip.

Excellent, fantastic, very durable and heavy gauge. If you want to get your furniture up against the wall or move a power cord to eliminate a sharp bend this is it.

All of the Liberator branded items are the best and I recommend highly.

One reviewer is right these are a little bigger and not for cramped power strips. For those get preferably the "plus" which is compact and cylindrical with a pass thru on top so you can hook up a wart AND still use the outlet.

If your strip is REALLY tight get either the original or they make the original that has two tails coming out.

If your strip won't accomodate the plus or the original... why do you still have it? Anything that tight is probably a waste of money and so cheap it is a short waiting to happen. Just my 2 cents worth.

I bought this product so that I could plug more items with bulky adaptors/transformers into a strip of sockets. This product does not help much. The plugs are too big to fit next to each other in a standard multi socket strip (I tried three different ones).

The Liberator idea for plugs is great however the design for this plug takes two spaces defeating its purpose. I have others with the straight in plug and they work very well.

I used to go to the local hardware store and pick up an extension cable with a flat plug specifically so that I could put my furniture flush against the walls, and let me change my furniture layout without any regard to where the outlets were. I wish I picked up this five pack earlier then, as it is a great value (just over three dollars / plug). The ground plug gives you maximum flexibility, and though not the thinnest plug I've ever seen, it's not like they stick out much more than the baseboard.

I haven't had any problems with using two of these on the same outlet. They stack perfectly. A few other reviewers mentioned they had issues. I guess they got older models?

And by design the cord bends at an angle to the right, but you can pull it back to the left given all three feet of wiring. The wire cover is thick enough that I'm not too concerned about pressure or twisting damaging the cord, though as with all hidden wires, you should be careful or else risk a fire hazard. Still, I find myself using them for places I didn't buy them for, just because it's more convenient or gives me easier access to the power outlet.

All in all, a great purchase.

I have an outlet behind my bed that is controlled by a light switch. I wanted to use a lamp, but my headboard was crushing the cord. I have a Belkin surge with this type of plug behind my entertainment center and love it. I use these behind my bed and it solved the plug problem. They work great, and if you need a little extension, they double for that. They are great if you have a large adapter that you don;t want taking up too much space on an outlet. Highly recommended.

I bought this because my TV's wall mount has a rod floating an inch in front of the power outlet, and a traditional extension cord would not fit. This one does with room to spare. Without it, my hidden cable plan would have gone for naught.

There is some confusion in these reviews about the rated capacity of these cables. The cord has a sticker that claims 13 Amps capacity at 120 Volts. I had another extension cord rated at 10 Amps, which was getting hot powering a space heater. I replaced it with one of these and it does not get hot, so I believe the sticker is accurate.

If you have a standard two plug power outlet you should have no trouble using two of these per outlet.

In general, a good product and a good value.

Didn't think we would need as many as came in the bundle, but they are all in use. Just the right size to connect to a microwave in a tight cabinet. May actually end up buying more!

I bought these for my husband and he loves them! They really make extra room on your powerstrip or outlet for devices that need it.
