Sears alternative to Smart Strip

Pages: (1/4) > >>

TOK:

Found this while shopping for other cabinet hardware. Since its claim is to turn on a light or other accessory when using a power tool, I was afraid a PC might not put enough of a load on it to trigger the outlets. I plugged my PC and monitor into it, and it worked great, just like a Smart Strip. Outlets are kind of limited, but I suppose there would be no problem with putting a regular power strip on one of them. It works out perfect for me since I only have the PC, monitor and marquee light to power.

Price is good too, $20.


shardian:

Do you have a picture of the packaging, or at least a true name of the product?

Havok:

I think I found it:

Sears Autoswitch

I think I'm going to have to check this out...

TOK:

Thats the one... I got mine at Sears Hardware. It comes in a black and red blister pack and they had them hanging on the wall with the saw blades and drill bits.

Can you adjust it? I had to do some fiddling with the settings on my Smartstrip before it would consistantly turn things off. This box might need the same tweaking.
