Tools and Hardware Reviews of Ziotek ZT1212590 Flat 18-Inch Power Strip Liberator, 5-Pack
Customer Review: Sent the wrong product which was mislabeled
Summary: 2 Stars
I did not order, but did receive a sack of 5 Ziotek ZT1212518 Power Strip Liberator Plus with Pass Through, 5-Pack which are anything but flat. The Bag has listed in three different places what it is, with clear descriptions. Yet someone placed a barcode sticker for the Ziotek ZT1212590 Power Strip Liberator Flat 18-Inch, 5-Pack over the barcode on said bag. I realize that accidents happen, but wake up folks even if you did not read the bag, the bag was clear you could see that what you were shipping was wrong. Now I will hang on to these and use them for something else as they are a good product. But when I reorder, it will be with someone else.Customer Review: Why Didn't I Think of That
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Wall Hugging 13 Amp Short Extension Cord
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Solved my problem, but wish they also sold them in single-packs.
Summary: 4 Stars
This cable is 16 AWG, so you need to make sure it is adequate for your needs. Only extend something that is 16 AWG or higher number. The higher the number, the thinner the wire. Do not extend anything 14 AWG or lower number, or you risk a fire.
This item is of high quality and it solved my problem. I bought a microwave oven that came with a straight power plug. The power outlet is directly behind the oven and there is limited space. I needed this flat plug to save me an inch of space.
I wish they sold it in single packs, since I only needed one. Now I am out of $18.00 and have four spares to store.
Customer Review: Perfect for an extention or behind a bookshelf
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
