By the time you spend what it costs to buy 4 of these you'd be better off just buying a new power strip that has the spacing already built in.

I'd kind of expect this price to come with 3 or 5 of them.

Only question I have is that since this lets you double up on each plug how long before you over tax your power strip? It would suck if every time you turned on something the fuse would trip and cut off all power to your devices. Adding one would be fine, but I wouldn't recommend filling up your power strip with these things.

@thetexastwister: Totally depends on what you're plugging in. You could plug in an awful lot of phone/ipod/bluetooth/whatever chargers in one strip and not even dent it. Or one single hair-dryer or vacuum...

@tsfisch: In that case, I'm going to plug the following into one power strip using these adapters:

1) A hair dryer.
2) A microwave oven.
3) Another hair dryer.
4) A straightening iron.
5) One more hair dryer.
6) A space heater.
7) Yet another hair dryer.
8) An air compressor.
9) Still another hair dryer.
10) An XBox 360.
11) A PS3.
12) An A/C unit.

Time to get the marshmallows.

I keep 2 of these stowed in my travel bag. You never know when you're going to end up in a hotel room just 2 outlets by the nightstand, and they're both in use, and you need to plug in your phone charger. This price is nothing to write home about, though. Get thee to Fry's and save the shipping.

@psywiped: Darn. I forgot about plugging in the vacuum cleaner. I suppose one of the hair dryers will need to go.

I hear you. My general rule of thumb is not to go over 15 amps on an outlet, though I believe they can support a bit more than this. I like to err on the side of caution in case there's bad wiring somewhere.

Unbelievably, considering the purpose for which they are intended, two of these won't fit in adjacent sockets on a standard power strip. You would need a pigtail for the pigtail. Incredibly stupid design fail.

I solved the problem of plugging wall warts to power strips by buying an extension cord with 3 outlets from walmart for a buck and a quarter.

I can plug a wall wart on each side. I roll up the 6ft cord to the length I want and hold it with a nylon tie.

@bigellow: lol, I'll bring the popcorn

@justabandnerd: Good idea but overkill for my application. I don't need or want a power strip at the end of my extension cord.

I'm buying one ... and I'll admit, I'm a sucker for their "Mystery Item Add-On." I'll post if I get anything good.

I am concerned that their website has many broken image links on the checkout page ...

Hmm. Their order confirmation went to my junk mail.

@sirlouie: Not unusual. Just flag as non-junk and add user as trusted.

@robio: At least they've had no complaints in the last year. Total complaints in three years - just 9. See web page for breakdown. Doesn't seem like a scammer site.

too expensive. Too wide at the strip. thumbs down from me.

@autryld: I believe the reference was to the lowest price tracked, which appears to be ~$11 last February:
