Thread Name: Tech: Surge protectors
Subject: Tech: Surge protectors
Went to Future Shit with a web only purchase skew #. Buddy says he is gonna check store stock. Finds one for $40 and says $20. I trust him, happy to get one cheaper. Shoulda read the lit in the box before I bought it. My app is less than 30' of wire from the main entrance panel. No go. Went back and ordered the right one. 2/3 the regular $ of the one on the shelf.

It occurred to me that MOST people don't read the instructions supplied with regard to installing surge protectors (and a LOT of other stuff). Just plug it in, right? WRONG BIG TIME! Your PC can fry and that $HUGE insurance policy is void where prohibited by stupidity.

Be careful... read the "directions". ESPECIALLY the safety stuff.

Yer welcome. Don't thank me. "We're all in this together."... Red Green.
