Anyone know if this is a fire hazard. Have my TV plugged into wall outlet. Then the husky tool cabinet plugged into wall outlet. And the mini fridge is plugged into the husky tool cabinet.
Husky tool box connect to mini fridge? Safe

I don’t keep my tools in the refrigerator. My mini fridge does not draw enough current to make a serious load on the electrical system feeding my workshop.

If you're concerned about it, why not plug the fridge into a wall outlet?

Manufacturer states: "Never use an extension cord to connect power to the unit." That would cover a power strip for me...
A lot of extension cord recommendations tell you to use an appropriate sized cord.
Issues usually arise when a cord is either a cheap brown/white made of 16/18Ga wire that cost 98¢
Multiple cords are strung together.
Cords run under rugs or in doorways with doors pinching them when shut.
Coiled up during use where the heat can't dissipate.

So I stead, plug the fridge and the TV into a power strip, and plug the toolbox into the wall. Problem solved!
