Hey all. This is doing my nut in. All I want is a 6 way+ surge protecor extension lead that's individually switched. What I'm after is a tower one but I just can't find any other than the flat, lay on the floor ones. Anyone know where I can find one? Amazon preferably as I have a gift certificate, although I've been through that quite a bit.  Cheers Dan

Aye, thanks but I want a tower with individual switches... They seem to be either towers or individually switched.

I think I saw some in my local Staples a while back. Not cheap, IIRC.

Cheers. May just have to be a flatty then.

Ah, misunderstood, I thought you meant a switch on the tower rather than at the wall socket. Individually switched sockets on the tower? I haven't seen any. I'm sure someone supplies them, and will probably a silly price for the privilege.

Aye, I think you may be right there. Think I may just have to go with a flatty. I just need to have two pcs plugged in but one I won't be using all the time so I just want switches as I'm lazy. Thanks guys.

Mine is a flat one, and just two of the six sockets are switched, but I have it mounted on the wall for easy access.

All flat models can be wall mounted afaik. Just mount it vertically and pretend it's a tower.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Cheers, very helpful. Aye, I guess there always is that option. Having a think about it and moving a few things around a flat one may be the best option afterall.
