0:00
running out of outlets this could be
0:02
your solution Dave Taylor here and if
0:12
there's one Universal in the modern era
0:13
is that there are less power outlets
0:16
than there are things to plug in now
0:18
when you're home or in your office you
0:20
can probably just get one of these big
0:22
corded power strips or some sort of
0:24
surge protection device that's a good
0:27
but when you're on the road when you're
0:28
in a hotel room or maybe when you're at
0:31
the local coffee shop or your other
0:33
favorite place to work if there are more
0:35
people wanting to plug in then there are
0:37
outlets you've got a problem enter this
0:41
this is the end on power three outlet
0:45
portable travel power strip and it's
0:48
pretty slick as you can see it's small
0:51
plugs right into the wall just like this
0:54
and this particular version is three USB
0:57
connectors and three outlets so you plug
1:01
in one and now you get three so this
1:04
could be you will become everyone's best
1:06
friend at the local Starbucks or
1:08
somewhere like that but the three USB
1:11
are even better so in a hotel room you
1:13
can charge your phone and your tablet
1:15
and your radar detector or whatever else
1:18
you might have all simultaneously soon
1:20
it will be your VR goggles but maybe not
1:23
yet now the outlets work from a hundred
1:26
to 240 volts 50 or 60 Hertz so they're
1:29
quite flexible and the USB charging
1:32
ports now this is a slightly different
1:34
story because any one of them can have a
1:37
maximum of 2.4 amps which is good that's
1:40
a fast charge but across all three you
1:44
can only get a total of 3 amps so if you
1:46
plug three devices in they're not going
1:48
to all fast charge there's just not
1:50
enough amperage in here now this also
1:53
has a surge protection it is rated up to
1:56
300 joules which sounds really cool but
1:59
here's the reality them so the joules of
2:02
a surge protector basically are how much
2:05
extra electrical energy it can handle
2:07
before it dies and 300 is just not that
2:12
small one for a home appliance would be
2:14
a thousand and if you have a you know
2:16
good computer gear or a fancy home
2:20
theater or something like that then you
2:21
might be up there two thousand joules
2:23
are higher so three hundred joules I
2:25
suppose is better than nothing but it's
2:27
a pretty low rating I wouldn't buy this
2:29
because of its surge protection
2:31
capability honestly I would buy this
2:33
just because it's so darn functional and
2:36
it's just it's so easy to have this in
2:38
your bag or in your suitcase and then
2:41
you get to your hotel you plug it in and
2:43
you are good to go and now you don't
2:45
have to find where these extra outlets
2:47
where am I going to find all these
2:48
things to plug into heck you could even
2:50
unplug the lamp in the hotel room plug
2:53
it into one of these and now you just
2:55
gained two extra outlets so that would
2:56
work now Anton power actually makes two
2:59
versions of this so let's just talk
3:01
about that but before we talk about that
3:04
speaking of charging and power and cool
3:07
things go ahead and click that subscribe
3:09
button thank you awesome now the three
3:13
outlet version is the more expensive one
3:16
that you would think so
3:17
starting with the two outlet one which
3:19
looks down like that two outlets and
3:21
still has the three USB ports and that
3:23
one runs you ready to give it a cringe
3:26
inexpensive $11.99 or the three out
3:31
livers and cost you two dollars more so
3:33
the three outlet end tom power travel
3:36
power strip will actually set you back
3:38
$13.99 both of them are available at
3:41
amazon.com and I gotta say pretty darn
3:45
useful I'm going to be having this in my
3:46
travel bagg you know not for the surge
3:48
protection but just because it's so nice
3:51
to have everything in one place and have
3:53
it all be nice and neat even in a hotel
3:55
room so Dave Taylor and I'll catch you
