Spotted this in the catalogue at $7.50 (1/2 price, was $15), starts today. Might be a good choice for those wanting a cheap power board with child safety covers.

A quick google search found the same power board is $20 at Big W, $14.55 at OW - they'll price beat by 5% (thanks sween), $18.51 Megabuy, $18 iTech & $18.70 at iCabling.

Featuring four surge and overload protected power outlets as well as including four child safety covers, this powerboard is ideal for general home use where small children may be able to access the powerboard. This product also features a 90cm cord with a handy right-angle power plug and slimline design to fit neatly behind furniture.

Features:

  • 4 Power Outlets
  • Overload Protection
  • Surge Protected
  • 4 Child Safety Covers

Product information:

  • Voltage 240VAC ~ 50Hz
  • Current 10A (Max.)
  • Power Rating 2400 Watt (max)
  • Surge Protection 175J (Edit, see info here from KT)
  • Lead Length 90cm

    If you don't need the Child Safety Covers, these are $2-$3 at Bunnings.

    • AlienC on 27/12/2017 - 17:36

      Does Bunnings deliver?

      Without surge protection, yes. Otherwise they look to be $9 upwards.

    A few of the Jackson boards are on sale at Woolworths, but not any with USB ports.

      I don't trust jackson usb ports anyway. Had one that busted and damaged my device.

      • b2dz on 27/12/2017 - 19:53

        Thanks. I wasn't much interested in them anyway as they seem poor value even at half price.

    Surge Protection 175J = virtually nothing- might even be detrimental as it creates a false sense of security if its used in a country area or area prone to spikes.
    You need at least 500 joules at a bare minimum with a fast clamping time to get into the useful zone.

    • INFIDEL on 27/12/2017 - 18:31

      Yes. Even the old Dick Smith Surge Catcher 6 outlet powerboards were rated at 10 times this (50,000A/1,675 Joules with a <1 nanosecond respond time)! Bought a few at $1 each & still in use over 4 years later.

      • King Tightarse on 27/12/2017 - 18:34

        "1,675 Joules) with a <1 nanosecond respond time"
        That's more like it, actually that's truly excellent for the price

      • cubiq4 on 27/12/2017 - 19:50

        I reached these a while back and also came to the conclusion that surge boards have a limited lifetime related to small surges that will go unnoticed. I've never replaced mine and they are probably also around 4 years old. You sound knowledgeable, do you know anything in regard to lifetime?

        • INFIDEL on 27/12/2017 - 20:21

          Thought about that too when I searched deals for when I bought them.

          Would depend on use & likelihood of surges. Mine are installed in low surge area (underground power in middle of housing area - which should minimise larger surges from lightning or transformer / supply issues).

          I've rebuilt devices wrecked by lightning strike to overhead power supply without surge protection (although most electronics contain minimal protection) - not pretty.

          I can't see much need for surge protection in my use. The included insurance policy is more likely to expire over time than my devices.

          If concerned - update.
          Others may have more knowledge about breakdown or failure of MOV components inside these devices - with time & minor surges.

    Those child safety covers in powerboards suck.

    Clunky and difficult to plug things in.

    • xev on 27/12/2017 - 18:42

      yeah, I couldn't even take the safety covers off, had to get my 6 year old to do it for me

    • Last Seen on 27/12/2017 - 21:20

      I think you'll find it's a different type.

      These plastic safety plugs/caps are alright in my book - even if you don't have kids, they keep dust out of the spare sockets

      • alo1234 on 28/12/2017 - 16:44

        why do we need to keep dust out of the spare sockets again?

          OCD, of course.

    Price beat at Officeworks!

    Bought one of the individually switched power boards just tonight for $10. Same price as the Bunnings 2-pack Arlec everyday but didn't mind as I only really wanted one.

    (Was meant to be in reply to the above comment about other Jackson boards also half price)
