smart strip
« on: October 17, 2007, 10:38:00 pm »
Hi guys,


              Is there any similar product to this smart strip that I can buy locally? Like, at a Lowes? My understanding is that the smart strip powers up whatever item is plugged into it without needing to push a on/off button on the device. Is this correct? I have gone on ebay and looked for a smart strip but have not had any luck. Thanks

Peter

I think you can find them at sears.
they are commonly used in wood shops
to turn on dust collectors when a dust
making tool is turned on.

i know my local sears has them in stock.
they are in the tool section.

yeah, i got mine at sears, they were located near the power tools.

it is called the Craftsman Auto Switch and will cost you around $20.  they work very well.

Only extra outlets on that thing?  Can you just plug a normal surge protector into that then for speakers and other misc stuff?  Don't see why it wouldn't work I guess.
