bp9801 Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 We have a slightly different item on the test bench for you to check out tonight. See how well it performs in the OCC review of the Power2U AC/USB Wall Outlet - http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/usb_wall_outlet/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonerboy779 Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 A bit different but these things definitely have their use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muchoman1 Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 So this is DIY installation? I thought that as soon as you went behind the power points you needed an electrician to do it? Looks like a decent product either way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a decent product either way in Australia you are meant to have a sparkie sign off on everything which means it would be hard to sell our home haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonerboy779 Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 If you are confident enough, then why not? Stupid stuff that requires a qualified tradesman to sign off on work. may be different in the states but in Australia you need quilified trades people signing off on all sorts of work. Doesn't mean you can't do it yourself but of you do its going to make it hard if you ever want to sell. Granted swapping a power point isn't going to ever be noticed running new power cuircits etc will Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d6bmg Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) ^^ Listening to this for the first time. In both the places I've lived (i.e states & india), there is no such thing. Edited September 15, 2012 by d6bmg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renigade Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 If the fact that it may not fit all receptacle boxes is the only thing stopping it from getting gold then for $1.96 at Home depot you can get a "cut in box" that is also super simple to install. You can get them at different depths so if you have more then 1 line and or load coming and going with 12 gauge wires ya need a bit more space as well. For those that dont know Line is the power coming in and Load is the continuation of the run or power going out. (insert old dirty electricians joke) the line goes in and the load comes out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
