The work surface in the workshop, of course, should be equipped with sockets, but very often their number is simply not enough. Of course, you can use a conventional extension cord, but it takes up a lot of space and gets underfoot, and it collects dust quite actively. Then a convenient and quite practical solution may be to equip the working surface with a retractable outlet block. This is composed device of two parts: a plastic "glass" and the aluminum block itself with sockets, moving inside the "glass" along the guides. Note that the unit is spring-loaded, due to which its stroke is quite tight and allows you to extend the work area to the required number of outlets. We indicate that the movement of the block is completely manual. To do this, press the spring-loaded plastic washer and pull on the central stem. The seller has blocks for 3, 4, 5 and 6 outlets, their length is 305 mm, 345 mm, 390 mm and 435 mm, respectively. In addition, each unit has 2 usb ports (1000 mA / 5 V) and an LED backlight that signals a network connection. All sockets with grounding (250V / 16A). The cable at the unit looks impressive, while it is quite soft, its length is 1900 mm.
To install such a block, it is enough to drill a hole in the surface (diameter 55 mm) and fix the block in it by tightening the plastic washer on the “glass”. The fixture can be fixed in any position, even in the ceiling. The result looks very neat. A folded block does not interfere with anything. Thus, you can equip your workplace with power in the most convenient place. Analogs offline on site are more expensive.
