Sears smart power strip webpage/model number please?

[unclet]

Can some post the model number and/or webpage link of the Sears power strip they bought to function like a Smart Strip?  I do not want the Smart Strip one, just the Sears one.

Thanks

Whats the difference between this thing and a normal powerstrip?  It looks like any old powerstrip to me.  Am I missing something?

Thanks,

did you read the thread i linked too?

in summary:  This is an auto sensing "powerstrip" it has a special designated outlet that acts as a "trip".to turn on the other outlets....

why?  I turn on my PC and my monitor, marquee light, and audio amp all turn on at once.... one momentary  switch to rule them all...

I have some questions about using the Sears Power Switch...

I just picked mine up yesterday.

Concern #1: The package says, "Use only for stationary power tools and their accessories; voltage fluctuations may damage other electrical equipment".  Is this something to be concerned about?  Has anybody experienced any problems as a result of using one of these?


Concern #2:  It says that this device is for use with wall recepticles only.  Does this mean I can not plug it into an extension cord?
[wall outlet- Extension cord- Sears unit- computer]

If so, can I plug extension cords into the unit in order to get to my machine?
[outlet- sears unit- extension cord- computer]

And if I do this second setup, I will have to run at least 2 extension cords, correct?  The first will be running from the "power tool" or main receptacle, and the other from the "accessories" receptacle.

If I only run one of the "accessories" receptacles (as opposed to both and thus a third extension cord) can I plug in an outlet strip (into that extension cord which is plugged into the sears unit which is plugged into the wall) so that I can have all three "accessory" devices (monitor, marquee light, and speakers) plugged in?

Thanks in advance for any replies...

Mark.

I dont know the exact specs for the thing but I'm sure it will be just fine to hook up to your computer/monitor.  They are most likely just relieving themselves of liability.  Also if you were to run a 6 foot grouded extention cord you would be fine.  Just make sure its one that has the three prongs on both ends not one of the cheating ones with only two and you should be fine.

Mark please don't post the same question in different threads. It makes it harder for people to help you.
