Extension Lead Deals & Offers

Guess so, no idea why they have chosen to use 3 or 13 amp fuses now in items, just copied from a webpage to help explain why a 13 amp fused item would most likely work on a 10 amp extension.

Would 5 amp fuse be a good crossover between 3 amp and 13 amp then?

Left one over and plan to change the plug to a euro plug and should be ideal for camping.

"3A Fuse – Table lamp, standard lamp, television, video, computer, mixer, blender, fridge, freezer, power drill, jig saw, soldering iron. 13A Fuse – Washing machine, dishwasher, microwave, kettle, toaster, iron. Manufacturers have now standardised plug fuse ratings to be either 3A or 13A. However, 5 Amp fuses are still used in some older equipment and are available to buy." I rarely have to put my washing machine kettle and toaster 10m from a socket! :p Also products don't use the amount on fuse, that is the point they fail, now there are two fuse types, something that runs at 3.1 amps will have a 13amp fuse as that is the next value up.

It's only 10amp, not good enough, most appliances uses 13amp.

i want one.. nah may be 2 :) done.. going argos tomorrow yea! how to scrap newly bought 1x2 metres with no surge month ago.

This is posted already also

Got it last week.

This is one of the best..I use mine for the bed as have a lot of electrical items

Thanks, will have a look as I had previously spent a long time looking for one and ended up with apc on amazon

More stock available week commencing 22/10/18

Don't worry, I actually voted hot. It is a good deal I was only making a joke. Some people liked it.

the most useless comment in this forum so far. For some people it is required and this is an excellent deal. Stop being an idiot

The switches start sparking after some use i suppose constant use is wearing them out

thank you op

oooh.... i've been burnt by the extreme cold!! anyway, i posted it because i picked it up from clas ohlson in store. only useful if you live near one. i agree, i wouldn't pay to have it delivered.

For £7 I’d buy one with surge protection :/

£1.99 in store. And who would pay £4.99 for delivery? Surely you can buy better ones. Cold.

Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezing

I can feel a chill coming on... XD

True, but I'm just poking fun at the merkin spelling of metre :{

Sold out everywhere near me :(

With Surge I grabbed 2. I have 2 of them above.. but why not get surge protected hehe :)

Great for my Xmas lights! :D

Good price... Thanks op (highfive)

It is personal preference I guess. The USB ports have 2.1 amp output. I would rather have the USB ports.

Good deal! It comes with surge protection also...you should add it on jus4fun141 : )

...and 2 fewer mains sockets. Swings and roundabouts.

Just ordered from Leeds / Birstall......collect for £6.99...... 8)

Like most people on HUKD I'm here to post/find deals & give advice not study A level English, unlike you who has never posted a deal! I have had a quick look at my spelling and can't see any errors, please don't give me detention!

Pathetic reply,take note how to spell,and try and read all the posts this time (oos)

Stock near me still (embarrassed) we can't all get all the deals all the time, so it's just a pethetic post for you because you can't get one! ;(

I looked at a previous Argos deal where it showed as OOS near me. Was in-store today browsing through clearance and saw the item showing as in-stock on their terminals (qty 2) - checked website for same store ... still OOS. Went to till and she said they only have 1 which I purchased. I'm not sure how accurate their stock tracking is or why the website and in-store should be different.

Heat added! Bought some 4-way Extensions as 6-way was sold out.. Great discounts on all of them!

Awesome deal, I have this, works well, no issues.

You just changed my life oh my god.

Great tip!

Take it back.

I prefer without switches because they can get unintentionally switched off. Bought one of these but found it quite useless because most of my plugs were oversized, meaning I couldn't fit a plug in the top and the bottom together. Would love to see one of these with a bigger gap in the middle.

CPC now only give free postage on purchases of over £9.60 including VAT http://cpc.farnell.com/help-delivery-information

TThanks for info. I bought quite many products & my experience has always been great.

Not a problem as long it's all low current stuff like electronics. Try to draw more than 13A in total and it will just blow the plug fuse.

"Pro Electric is quite decent brand" Pro-Elec is just CPC's own brand for anything they get built in China to their requirements. I wouldn't really say it was a "decent brand". Some of the stuff's good, some not so.

Now £4.99.

Bought for £4.99. Great price. Just what i needed.

It’s now showing at £4.99

That's really weird that their site says they don't. Maybe it's older stock or something. Thanks for the info then.

Yes, the one I purchased is 5 meters long, that’s what I was saying all along, but you were saying they don’t make them in 5 meters. :/ (fierce) XD

Nobody likes a show off. (annoyed)

My video has Long Play on it - I can record for 6 hours using a TDK 180 tape 8)

Nice, as a philistine and ludite I agree that scart is not only the past and the present but very much the future too and it won't be long now til they all come flooding back and then where will they be when the shelves are empty and no one has a spare scart cable? What will they do then? Meanwhile you're laughing it up, living the life.

Oooh you have a DVD Video recorder? I thought I was flash with my Nicam VHS recorder. (skeptical)

For my Toshiba D-VR17KB DVD Video recorder :)

not switched

£1 from Poundland (y)

3m one on Amazon with surge for £9.99 and it's got 6 sockets on it.

I can hear them already.. they're coming!

Yesterday there was this extension, seems better value. https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/masterplug-switched-eight-socket-extension-lead-reduced-to-899-at-argos-clearance-was-1799-2989075

Was just about to post this - deal is hot!!

Machoman. I hope you're American!

Not sure, looks more like a leftover bit of Robots eye, from the new series of Lost in Space on netflix!!! ;)

Thanks man. Is that a camera i see next to power red switch?

Was in Lidl today, saw these, didn't buy one, but it does look like an excellent quality power strip. (y)

Now down to £6.99 where limited stocks remain.

Yep. Bought the 3m 8 socket one about 3 years ago, can't fault it.

oos

Been hit by lightening twice ,used surge protectors ,nothing can stop millions of volts ,it will fry what it can ! (shock)

Not really, a surge protector will happily allow your Chinese charger clone to burn your house down. its not going to fix faulty house wiring either

Very useful, they do warp and twist a bit in time, because they are thin & cheap plastic, but it doesn't affect the function and if there is an item that is more function over form then I've yet to see it. Thumbs up from me :)

I ordered the 4 for £8.99 in the end

Where?

Good spot Louie
