Make sure your outlet has a middle screw
Needed a small surge protector with multiple outlets. Figured this would work perfectly. Got it and found out it is not usable unless you have the old fashioned outlets with a screw in the middle. Does not work with the modern Decora style outlets that do not have a screw.
Checked the specs on Amazon again, and could not find that piece of info anywhere. It’s only in the fine print of the instructions that it says that you can’t use it in an outlet without a middle screw. Most modern homes built within the past 15 years can’t use this as they have modern outlets. Will see what Amazon says about return for a full credit.
