Thank you for not making an 18 minute video complete with a fancy intro, outro, loud music, drone footage, and 14 commercial breaks, all just to show a simple solution to a common problem. This is the YouTube I love, BRAVO!

[TK-zfsx]

This was a quick, simple, and clear explanation. No intro music, no branding, no fluff. Well done - thanks!

[jpablo]

Wish youtube would award content creators twice the pay when videos are simple and straightforward with no annoying intro, music, etc. like this one.

[cartoonblock]

Dude..that was a FREAKING AMAZING TIP! Never seen that tip b4.

[geoffstrickler]

I’ve installed hundreds of these, and I’ve never seen or thought about this trick. So simple it’s brilliant. Thank you. Just wish I knew this 5 years ago.

[stevepickett]

Okay. Whether you came up with that or not, you just made me feel like an idiot for all of the times that I spent painstakingly measuring and remeasuring to accomplish this same thing. Thanks for the concise video explanation.

[MoAndAye]

Nice tip. One that I use myself. Except that when I do it I run the tape all the way to each end and tear it off there. After removing it from the power strip and positioning it on the target surface, I now know where the strip ends and can ensure clearance or centering concerns.

[jeroenstrompf]

Thank you! What a delight that the whole video was just 1:14 - No endless intro or anything. Just straight to the point

[keithklassen]

I *love* this. I do construction and cabinetry, and there are so many situations where I need to make perfect measurements with complex equipment, but finding a trick that reduces measurement.... makes my heart happy.

[julionavas]

Where was this video during all my life? Just excellent!

[therealkakazi]

Thank you for not wasting time and getting to the point! Excellent job and thanks! I can definitely use this method effectively!

[Powerstroke]

At 64 I consider myself a very good handyman...you just kicked my ass with this...brilliant!

[richardphillips]

Too easy . Thanks. I've been an electrician for 38 years and never thought of this idea 👍

[MakersMuse]

nice and straight to the point, I always used paper but this is even easier!

[stevensmith]

Nice quick trick video that didn't take 25 minutes. How refreshing and immediately helpful.

[outbackartisan]

Mate, I'm not overstating things when I say that this changed my life. I wish I could give it more than one like.

And with the power strip mounted, you can secure a small stop block at the end to prevent it from sliding off the screws when pulling out the power cords.
Top tip: make sure the screws are so far in that the strip doesn't wiggle around.

All the times I spent under desks on my side with a flashlight, ruler, and leveler and drill to mount power strips. This will save me so much time I can also use this method for other devices such as routers and switches that have mounting holes too, and are tough to measure accurately.

[wogfun]

Yeah I'm sitting here pretty much in awe of the simplicity and elegance of the solution. This is one of the few "hacks" or "tricks" I won't forget.

[bryanpetersen]

I love it! I have always screwed the pooch when mounting these devices with keyholes. Thank you for the info, and for getting right to the point and not wasting my time like most other YouTubers.
