Wall-wart type power plug extenders
Does anyone local sell wall-wart type power plug extenders - you know, the
huge 'plugs' on the emd of the power cords for some things - often computer peripherals. The ones I have won't plug into a power strip without covering several outlets. I use cheap extension cords between them and the strip but this takes up a lot of space for the coiled cord. What's needed is a VERY short - about a foot long - 'extension cord'. Anyone sell such things I can get locally so I won't have to pay the usually huge shipping and handling when buying on line? Or do I need to make my own? TIA -- You know it's time to clean the refrigerator when something closes the door from the inside. |

The device consisted of two loops of velcroed fabric betwixt a hefty rubber band thingy. I doubt that it wood work, so I didn't buy one. |

Or do I need to make my own? TIA Places like MCM have those short cords. I got a bunch of surge protectors years ago that look like a big plug and extend the receptacle out about 2". I doubt they do much actual surge protection but they do let you plug in a lot of wall warts on a strip (every other one is extended) Cube taps also work for this and give you plugs on both sides. The real answer would be a heftier power supply with multiple cords coming out. They are usually 5v or 12v these days. |

Or do I need to make my own? many years ago i took some cheap 2 prong extension cords, cut most of the power plug end off making the cord about a foot and added one of those power plugs you put the wire in pressing the plug together which pierces the wire connecting the plug, it only takes a minute or two to assemble. plus i bought 8 foot cords and used the leftover plug and wire to rewire some lights. no waste, very low cost too my eife was impressed at how it cut down on the wire mess |

Sometimes a 6-foot cord costs less, and you can put THREE of the things on it. -- 111 days until the winter celebration (Friday December 25, 2015 for 1 day).

Does anyone local sell wall-wart type power plug extenders Search Amazon for "power strip liberator". I have several like these http://www.amazon.com/Ziotek-Power-S.../dp/B0009K6WJY though I'm pretty sure I paid a lot less. They turn one outlet into two with only a single dangling cord, and I almost always have a mix of things to plug in, so they do the "liberating" with less mess. Edward |
