Primera-Line 8-way Extension Lead (Power strip with switch and 2m cable) Black

The black 2metre Brennenstuhl Primera eight gang extension lead with surge-protection is well made and has good contacts, perfect for UK homes and businesses. The Az-blurb is accurate. It expects to be plugged into a normal well maintained 13A socket with a good earth, and not an extension lead. The one in my picture replaces the six port version, and is plugged into a UPS to maintain home essentials and the new digital phone. It is a welcome improvement over some generic anonymous on-line offerings I’ve tried recently and immediately binned because they were potentially lethal. I took a look inside. It has a decent thickness of buss conductors with contacts that grip plug-pins properly and will last. The surge protection is in a neat little circuit board located near the input lead and mains switch. The mains switch isolates the whole of the strip including the surge protection board from the incoming live line. The neutral is always connected, as is the earth. The cover is secured by tamper-resistant screws; however, with the correct tools access is possible to enable a safety check. The 13A plug is moulded in the correct shape with safe pins and contained the correct fuse.

Probably the best extension lead I've ever seen packaged. Looks solid and robust, and I will be purchasing more for around the house.

Yes, it's just a main extension. But it's so much better quality than any of the standard cheapo jobs I've bought before. The socket spacing is just right - the fattest plugs and the odd brick adaptor will all fit comfortably alongside each other, but the overall length of the unit is still reasonable. The cable can be clipped into guides underneath so that it exits either end as you prefer. Useful, as I could turn it round so that all the plugs were pointing the way I wanted, plus the green on/off switch is now at the far end, not the cabled end as shown in the product photos. This makes it much more accessible for me. Plus you can also loop around the cable on its underside to make the cable shorter, as I have. There's an orange neon inside the green button that lights up a standard power symbol. It's bright enough to be visible but at a sensible low brightness level, not silly bright as many LED indicators are these days - we have other products that can light a room. All the plugs pop in with a smooth, almost springy clunk. I wouldn't expect to be pleased with or even notice the tactile quality of a mere mains extension, but this is noticeably better quality than most sockets. It's reasonably lightweight, but still very solidly made. The loop sticking out of the end in the photos had snapped off on arrival, but I don't think this is intended to be part of the product - it looks like it's just for hanging in a shop while on display. If you want to mount it on anything then there are two keyhole screw holes on the underside - just screw in two screws of the right diameter at the required spacing then slot it on, to give concealed fixings.

Nice lead however the sockets are a little too close together so some power adaptors cannot sit side by side which is frustrating.

good quality and work as expected

Came next day

It seems like a very well made extension lead ideal for my Garage.

Pro: 10 sockets, 2 of them separated a bit from the others for those plugs that are just bigger than standard. Cable management under the block Cons: None really. Just personally dont see the point of 2 switches for 5 sockets each

ممتازة وجودة جيدة والافضل انها 10 منافذ يعيبها انها فقط طول السلك 2 متر ولايوجد نوع اخر سلك اطول ب 10 مقابس شحن

Decent power extension. I really liked it

Does exactly what it's intended to do. Love it

Alles TipTop :-)

انصدمت بطول السلك قصير لكن المنتج جيد بالنسبة للشركة المصنعة تم تجربت توصيلات كهربائية منها جوداتها عالية واسعارها مناسبة لكن اخطات بعدم التدقيق بطول السلك ، وتحتوي التوصيلة الى زر اغلاق لك 5 افياش
