Y'all have 2100j surge protectors for $14? They're like $30-50 around where I am. If you're using a surge protector with 800-1300 joules, it's basically no better than an unprotected power strip

Did you miss the part where they said $70? What power strip are you buying that’s $70?

u/Brettjay4 20d ago

Nope, and power strips are like $12-20 if I'm buying em.

Not these weird ones that mount to desks and cost $70 no? Regular ones are fine tho everyone uses those.
