Product Information

To be honest, I never use extension sockets outside of my home, shed, or garage, but I do make good use of them indoors. Extension leads also do exactly what they say on the tin, extending the reach of your mains sockets to the zones of your house, garden or balcony that weren’t previously within reach.

I have recently bought an extension socket that can handle over 3000W though, and I think it would be able handle the load. For example, there is always one on my workbench in the shed, and I have even created a little area on the far corner of the bench with small pieces of wood to stop the extension socket from slipping or getting knocked off by some clumsy idiot such as myself.It has the fundamentals you need in an extension lead: four plug sockets connected to a decent 5m length. and again, the USB ports offer smart charging that will detect the type of device and charge accordingly. The Masterplug Pro-XT Four Socket cable reel is a sturdy strong cable reel well equipped with a 13A plug and has 4 sockets with a thermal cut out with a reset button. You’ll like the carry handle, it’s probably the nicest of all reviews on this article and because it’s a sealed unit the cable can’t disappear down the side of the drum making it pretty much fool proof.

I’ve caught it in my van door and done absolutely zero damage – a personal testament to my stupidity and the quality of the lead 😀 And I’ll say this, I use it with a 2000 Watt router and 1200 Watt extractor for extended periods of time. With that being rated at 3000Watt and believe me, it uses all of that, they needed to build a decent lead to accompany it! To protect those expensive devices, this extension socket incorporates systems that help with too much voltage, overcurrent, anti-static, short circuit, and there is also 1050 joules surge protection. They needed a power lead that could work in roughish UK weather conditions alongside their superb Vonhaus electric garden leaf blower. Long before that happened the fuse should have blown so I am not quite sure what happened there but most cars charge on 30 Amps or more, and since this cable is only rated for your standard 13 Amp household, I highly advise not to misuse the product.With IP66 protection – meaning it’s protected from sprays, rain and total dust ingress amongst other things – this lead can be installed on the outer wall of your home for regular access to power without any awkward cable solutions. As I just said a moment ago, extension sockets are often bought and used by people as they are cheaper than purchasing a proper live connection cable reel. This is a very convenient way to switch on lights or reboot your Sky box without having to reach for switches or remove cables.
