Multi-Socket For Plugs

[woodelf]

I'm trying to buy a multi-socket extension block with individual switches with a lead of three metres or more, but can't find one with all these requirements. Anyone help? Ta Muchly.

woodelf, I got mine in Homebase - each socket is switched.

As Woodelf is unable to see the illustrations, I'll point out that Mccluff's link doesn't meet the requirements (because the sockets aren't individually switched) but D97x7's link seems perfect.

In case your screen reader is having difficulty separating the links, Woodelf, I'll repeat the correct one here:

Many Thanks Guys. Boxie, how many sockets and length of lead. Hi Chris, long time no see (har har) and ta for the link, you too D and I'm fine Mccfluff.

As far as I can see from the Homebase website, Woodelf, the only model they sell has only a 2 metre lead. It's also rather pricey at £14.48.

If you know anyone who's handy with a screwdriver, it's a fairly simple task to replace a short cable on a plug block with a longer one. (Annoyingly though, in these days of moulded plugs, you have to fit a new plug as well). So if you can get hold of an individually-switched block locally, someone might be able to fit a longer lead for you. (Just check that the block actually screws together, as most do, rather than being moulded).

I'd recommend searching for a rewirable one. Too many these days you have to sling the lot for some minor defect that arises.

As I see Buenchico has said as much.

Many Thanks for checking out Homebase and so, I'll go for the first link you and D gave; a 3m lead is about right. Ta All.
