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. :roll:

Cheers

Dan

Aye, thanks but I want a tower with individual switches... :roll:

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. :D

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. :D

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.

Really. Didn't realise you could get partially switched ones. Hm, may have a dig around for some of thoses, cheers Dave.

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.

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. :roll: :D
