CRST 8-Outlet Metal Power Strip with 2100J Surge Protection

CRST 2 Pack 8 Outlet Metal Heavy Duty Power Strip is a rugged, mountable aluminum power strip with wide-spaced outlets and 2100J surge protection for workshops, garages, or home use.

Built to withstand demanding environments, this CRST power strip combines a reinforced 1.5mm aluminum alloy housing with a 6-foot 14AWG cord and a 15A/1875W rating. Its 2100-joule surge suppression and built-in circuit breaker add a layer of electrical safety, while the wide 1.7-inch spacing between outlets accepts bulky plugs and adapters without blocking neighboring sockets. The package includes two identical units, making it easy to outfit a bench, work area, or equipment rack.

How does the metal construction improve durability?

The strip's 1.5mm extra-thick aluminum alloy shell resists dents, corrosion, and oil exposure better than plastic alternatives. Reinforced engineering plastic end caps protect the internal components while keeping weight manageable.

• Heavy-gauge aluminum housing for impact resistance and heat dissipation
• Reinforced plastic covers at cable entry points for strain relief
• UL-listed 14AWG SJT power cord for abrasion and oil resistance

What electrical protection does it provide for tools and devices?

This CRST strip delivers 2100 joules of surge protection to reduce the risk of damage from spikes and transients. An integrated 15A circuit breaker trips on overloads, offering a fast response to catastrophic events and preventing sustained overcurrent conditions.

• 2100J surge suppression to absorb energy from voltage spikes
• 15A circuit breaker that resets to restore power after faults
• SGS-certified components and $3,000,000 product liability insurance

Will bulky plugs and power bricks fit without blocking other sockets?

Yes—each outlet pair sits 1.7 inches center-to-center, so large transformers and multi-prong adapters can be used without covering adjacent receptacles. The layout maximizes usable plug space for chargers, adapters, and bench equipment.

• Wide-spaced outlets for large power adapters and plug-in tools
• Angled flat plug reduces wall obstruction and improves clearance
• Two mounting slots make it simple to secure the strip to walls or workbenches

How easy is it to install and use in a garage or workshop?

Installation is straightforward: the strip includes hanging slots for quick mounting and a 6-foot cord to reach common bench and outlet locations. The user-friendly on/off switch provides quick control over connected equipment and helps conserve energy when not in use.

• Mountable design with pre-cut hanging slots for screws
• 6-foot UL-listed cord for flexible placement
• Durable switch for convenient power control and protection

Who is this for: The CRST 2 Pack 8-Outlet Metal Power Strip suits hobbyists, professional tradespeople, and homeowners who need a tough, safe, and spacious power distribution solution. It’s ideal for garage benches, woodworking shops, craft rooms, and electronics stations where heavy plugs, tools, and surge protection are required. Backed by an 18-month warranty and eco-friendly recyclable aluminum housing, these strips are a practical choice when durability and reliable protection matter.
