PowerSquid does surge protection

The PowerSquid is everything you have ever dreamed of in a powerstrip - basically extension cords of varying length so the 'wall wart' converters do not cover the plug next to them. They allow flexibility and easy pulling out of plugs, you can grip the chord and pull.

I have been using one for months, and it is really handy to have on my test bench. Two thumbs up from me, well worth the slight premium over a high-end strip. The only thing I could ask for that it does not do is individually-switched outlets. Nothing fishy here.

Back to the new stuff, if you go to the main PowerSquid site, you will see a new line of surge protectors. They range from the low-end Surge 1000 to the 3000, and for the high rollers out there, you can get the ultimate in invertebrate electrical protection, the PowerSquid Surge 3000 Calamari Edition.

The new surge protectors are fractionally larger than the older PowerSquid non-Calamari Edition, and add a surge protection, a bunch of status LEDs, a breaker and cable/phone protection as well. The Calamari also has two lighted tentacles like any good deep sea predator should, and swiveling plugs like few deep sea predators do.

If you are looking for a new surge protector, give PowerSquid a look. If the new parts are as good as the old, they get my recommendation. How many times have you purchased a surge protector your friends will think is neat? OK, I may have a low boredom threshold, but these things are cool. µ
