US mains multiway adaptors

I looked for plug multiplyer on google and found these

(you might want to wait till you get there) or do some further searching with that term

The second link was supposed to be to the cheaper "block" at the bottom of the page. You will just have to scroll down.

or a search that should turn up some others

CPC are often good for this sort of thing, they certainly have European ones.

Know anyone who has access to the base shops at Lakenheath or Mildenhall ?

Sadly not.

I just need to bleeding remember the next time I visit the USA!

Google North American PDU but be prepared for a sharp intake of breath at the price.

These normally come with UK style plugs tho - you would need to change that.

FTFAGOS! Walmart, when he gets there, or whatever the equivient of WH Smith's is in the arrivals hall.

I don't know why but I can't see the original post - surely you've not KF'ed me, Huge??

Ebay is your friend... here's how:

Go to ebay.com, rather than ebay.co.uk, and search for "power strip" (which seems to be the preferred merkin terminology) which generates 64,000 hits - and because you're looking at the US site, these will default mainly to US plug-type.

Then pick "Free international shipping" from the filters down the left-hand side, and that leaves you with a mere 46,000 to choose from. Most of these will be manufactured and shipped from the Far East much as we're used to. When you've found what you're after, plug the item reference number back in to the ebay.co.uk site, and all being well the same item should pop up there in your account, with free shipping as well.

Job's a good'un, as they say.

The better smartphones can do geo based reminders so you can get it to remind you when you are there next.

I thought they now used those three pin round things, well two pin and a band around the plug for the earth. Brian

Depends on how small is small but I have an eight way switched Belkin multiway sitting here. Has surge protection - a phone (landline protection). It is about 10" x 4" x 2" in size.

No use to me now so yours if you want it.

Email address is valid even if not regularly checked.

if it helps.

That's the conclusion I'm coming to. Having discussed it on here should be enough to remind me to have a quick look when next we arrive, and failing that, to stop off at a DIT shed and see what they have.

Thank you, that's exceedingly kind, but it's a little large for what I want.

A tip from Mumsnet, is to take a *UK* multiway adapter and a single US-

warts aren't too fussed for input voltage ?

I have either 2 pin x 3, 2pin swivel or 3 pin x 3, 3 pin fixed I could mail you any good?

Yes, but UK plugs are *huge*, and I've already got US chargers for everything.

Ah well ....
