Thanks for bumping this thread fattrain! I bought a set right away yesterday. Amazon had some sort of 50% off deal for that item that was ending 10 mins later. I ended up picking mine up for $20!
Just to be clear...you plugged one of these directly into a wall outlet and then plugged a surge into that? So when you push a button it effectively turns the surge on and all the pins connected to it? I'm assuming this is safe to do? I have several of these bad boys laying around that I'd like to use: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000J2EN4S
Anyone know how many pins you can safely plug in to one of these?
