terrific, low cost power management tool

I noticed that most of the power outlets I use on a regular basis are behind large pieces of furniture. Every modern device requires at least a little power (even if only at intervals) and many of them have to be periodically unplugged to be rebooted. This invariably leads to a bulky power strip/surge protector at every usage location.
Most power strip/surge protectors are very bulky and made to sit on the floor, often in a difficult location for routine access. Unfortunately, “unplugging” from a power strip requires holding the strip firmly in place while simultaneously pulling on the plug. With the strip in a difficult location and the fact that it must be restrained to remove the plug, I typically need a scotch to even attempt it.
If that weren't bad enough, most devices use an AC adapter of various different sizes, shapes and orientations. The differences are odd enough that they look like a heterogeneous collection of "rugrats". This further magnifies the problem because power strips are never devised for the space requirements of rugrats. Most power strips assume that everything is a standard 2 or 3 prong plug, lined up in military fashion. So, to make a power strip work, it must often be combined with a variety of cube taps, shifting the vertical dimensions of many outlets to accommodate the different rat dimensions. In some cases, power strips start looking like tenement slums. Power strips that attempt to accommodate the dimensions of rugrats are even bulkier and more difficult to use.
The overall problem was difficult enough that I recently decided to just sacrifice the furniture.
This surge protector power strip has a very low profile with two screw slots at either end. There are locations on all outlet-blocking furniture where the strips can be screw-attached (see photo). This solves nearly all the problems: (a) the strip is convenient to someone seated in the chair or laying on the bed; (b) it’s strongly secured meaning the plugs can be easily removed and replaced with one hand; (c) it has one wide-spaced outlet for the odd rugrat; and (d) it has multiple USB ports with one ‘C’ type charging port, thus eliminating one rugrat.
Given all that and that fact that it’s very reasonably priced, I couldn’t be happier.
