Alternative for bitsltd smartstrip
rlehm:
I didn't want to pay for a smartstrip, but once it got here i was happy i did. It's not to click shut down and walk away. Having to crawl behind the cab and click the strip off sucks. sounds lazy, but, well.. yeah it's lazy. It's like having a remote for the t.v. ;D

Can anyone tell me how the craftsman switch plugs into the wall? Is there a cord or just three prongs sticking out of the back. You can't tell from the pictures on the Sears website:
TOK:
Its just 3 prongs out the back. You can plug it into a standard 3 prong extension cord and just run that out the back of your machine.

Here's another vote for the Craftsman product. I went to Lowe's/HD & bought a small power supply receptacle & screwed it to the inside of my cab, then plugged in the Sears switcher, then zip-tied the switcher to the receptacle.
I was just having too much trouble with this Smartstrip: http://www.amazon.com/Smart-Strip-SCG3-049418906-Autoswitching/dp/B000P1QJXQ/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1226688552&sr=8-2
It kept floating & I had to keep adjusting the pot--if I got the items to turn on w/ the PC, then they wouldn't turn off. And vice versa...
Craftsman one's been great. I just plug a power strip into 1 of the controlled outlets & plug all my stuff into the power strip.
