Addtam Power Strips with USB

I test out the USB ports on a couple of Addtam power strips, then for good measure I take them apart and lecture everyone about the importance of non-$hite power strips. How fun?

what's the downside to flimsy bus bars? just deforming over time?

Is it a must that I mount it on the wall. I don't put holes in my walls.

my country uses 220v i wonder if these would work there? most manufacturers sell 100-240v 50/60hz devices but some still sell only 110-120v could you confirm please?

I have found that IKEA USB charging eh hubs, are really good for what they are. By that I mean I hope they are.
In general though, about power strips, I stopped buying anything that isn't APC brand any more.

Oh come on man! I say later in some of my youtube videos. Though I admit I don't end with fuck me. :p
Later is
Love your videos man.

Have you ever thought of reviewing those Ikea power strips? They're also all metal body but I'm wondering how cheap they might be.

I'm looking for a good quality surge protector for my music studio. I have some very nice synthesizers, as well as other gear, and I want to make sure they're protected very well. I just don't want to spend an arm and leg. I have an electrician background, so I'm not afraid of wiring etc, but I'm not an electrical engineer, so I don't fully understand how a surge protector works. From what I'm seeing, why now just add a breaker and possibly fuse for extra protection, and then just wire in outlets...? Obviously, a nice aluminum box would be need as well. I have to be missing something. If what I'm saying would work the same, then I could build some very affordable, high quality surge protectors.
