Update on this. Unlike my red 4 inch one , this one does not have a variable speed trigger.
It bigs me because it makes it harder to oil as I run my red one slowly after oiling but this one sprays it everywhere.

A few months ago I checked out Amazon while looking for a power strip or surge protector and found that many didn't have any certifications or meet standards and looked sketchy. I think a couple of reviews had pictures showing a melted built-in USB charging port. But they were cheap. I finally settled on a 6 outlet Eaton/Tripplite surge protector with C/ETL/US/Intertek listing. Has max total rating of 15 amps with resettable circuit breaker. Cost a little more but don't think it'll catch on fire. There's so much sketchy **** on Amazon you really have to pay attention. And then there's the Vine reviews.
It says it dissipates heat quickly! Thats a confidence builder right there.

Wrong product. (Presumably one without 20 amp sockets.)
But anyways, mine came today. I picked up two. They're nice solid power strips. Aluminum housing, decent size and outlet spacing, and I'm really liking the angled outlets and mounting options (bottom and back.)
And for everyone freaking out, here's the guts:
Sure looks like AWG 12 to me.
Luckily the deal is still going on, I'm picking up a couple more.

What about SW Virginia???
I have no idea where I'll use this. But after I saw the insides, I was like, I need one of those. Damn this thread. I love this thread.Wrong product. (Presumably one without 20 amp sockets.)

Any UL or ETL certifications? I think I'm ordering one either way, but curious

I think you would need to calculate the cross-sectional area... So if you know the minimum width and you know the thickness you can calculate an approximationWhat do we think the equivalent AWG is here? It looks like there's nothing there!
18 AWG: 0.82 mm^2
16 AWG: 1.31 mm^2
14 AWG: 2.08 mm^2
12 AWG: 3.31 mm^2

It must be a built-in fuse. 
Can be easily shunted, if space permits, and you feel you want to do it.

Yeah, mine is coming tomorrow and I plan to measure it. The odds that I don't return it are not looking good.
I think safe current carrying capacity is dependent on material, heat dissipation, ambient temperature and probably other factors. Codes for in-wall conductors are codes. Maybe someone should start a thread on outlet strip safety if they find it interesting, or the value of UL or EU labels? I purchased two of these strips because of their diagonalform factor.

Mine arrived today, 7 days early, no packaging, they wheeled it off the 26' box truck, rolled it 100' to my garage and drove away. Perfect!If anyone is needing a heavy duty cart, here you go: Durham LIC-243644-2-95 Low Profile Instrument Cart
Not sure if it's a price mistake, but if you want to take a gamble it could be worth it.

I'm thinking they dropped yours off right before mine, if you're near GR.
Amazon did notify me this morning it was out for delivery, which I was not expecting.
Not sure who was going to try to double stack these

Ha, near Flint, so probably no. Looks like you had a pallet, I did not, they just rolled it through the snow.I'm thinking they dropped yours off right before mine, if you're near GR.

Thank you. For non-commercial accounts it's listed as non-available.
Do you know if the same person can have both accounts separately?

I think so, but with two email addresses. I don't know if a single email address can be associated with a standard and a commercial account.

Just opened a bus. acc. and placed an order. Thank you.
Could plug a 1500w space heater into that power strip and measure voltage drop. Check thermals for hot spots after 30-40 min. Tell ChatGPT your findings. Those perforations are concerning at first glance, but I admit I have never opened one of my power strips to inspect the build. I really like these 2 Klein and this 1 Ridgid powerstrip I picked up recently.. but that corner shaped Amazon one is super cool for particular installs like their examples show.
Their rendering also shows the perforations. So at least you know that is a design intent and not something compromised during production.

I got mine today. The ground conductors are 0.32mm thick and the width at the holes is 0.71mm. That is a grand total of 0.45sq mm and equal to an AWG between 20 and 21!
The hot conductor has holes in it, too, but this conductor is 0.45mm thick and the width at the holes is 0.71mm. That is a grand total of 1.18sq mm and equal to an AWG of about 17.
Not only that, there is a capacitor on the switch with a piece of heat shrink over it that was never shrunk. The hot and neutral wires that are connected to the switch are soldered. Isn't that a no-no? I always thought that you wanted them screwed down or crimped so if they heat up, the solder just doesn't melt.
There are so many holes in the conductors. All amps drawn by the eight outlets go through two tiny pieces of the hot conductor at the final hole with an equivalent gauge of about 17.

If the holes in the hot strip do not play any role mechanically, you can just fill them with solder or solder copper wire/strip jumpers (bypasses/shunts) over the holes. Even just building up the thin areas at the holes with solder would work to bring the cross section value up.
Ground strip can be built up a bit too, although it may never be needed (hopefully).
That is if you really like the form factor and don't want to return the power strips.

Please leave a detailed review on amazon to let future buyers know.
Now I am curious what other ones look like inside.
What would the temperature rise be around that hole in the uninsulated bus suspended in air inside a large aluminum enclosure with a 20 ampere current. Is it excessive? What gauge would an extension cord need to be for 20 amps if it was 30 meters in length. What about an extension cord less than a millimeter in length? What’s the wire gauge of that 60 amp wall wart cell phone charger?
Cheaper than similar lights. $28 with code Z9ZXRFBN. Works now but no idea if it’s regional or will disappear.
