RUGGED Trailing Sockets

RUGGED Trailing Sockets are the sort of strip people reach for when they need extra outlets along a bench, behind a cabinet, or under a desk, not a decorative extension lead. By our assessment, the appeal is plain: several sockets in one place, usually with the tougher feel suggested by the name, and a layout that is meant to sit out of the way while still taking real plugs. The trade-off is equally plain, because these things add cable clutter and do not solve overload on their own, so the user still has to mind what is plugged in. In practice the best versions are boring in the good sense: plug in, leave it put, and stop hunting for wall outlets. Compared with a basic power strip, RUGGED Trailing Sockets sounds aimed a little more at workshop, utility-room, or office use than at something neat for a living room. It is not the kind of product that makes itself noticed; it just has to keep multiple devices fed from one lead.
