 Just what I needed! August 29, 2008
We used this cable to connect an electric cord that was too short to reach the outlet. It works great and was delivered quickly.
A Simple Invention That Is Quite Useful August 27, 2008
Simple but quite useful product.
I have a UPS and a few powerstrips in the house. They are great by providing more outlets. But with all the power adapters that runs most of the gadgets today, even one of those power adapters can cover 2 to 3 outlets which defeats the purpose of having a powerstrip. The liberator solves that problem.
Also, some power adapters can be huge and heavy that its weight alone tends to loosen it from the wall, the liberator serves as a little extension to prevent it from loosening up. Loose connections are dangerous, it can produce sparks that not only can ruin your equipments but can even starts a fire. Countertop receptacles can also be problematic where they are awkwardly situated sideways.
 Way too expensive! February 17, 2008

These extensions, or liberators if you will, are great but 7 bucks for a 1 footer? C'mon now, I can get these for like a buck or two each at my local computer/electronics store.

I have about 20 of these in my home, all of them serving to connect AC outlets to a variety of chargers, power supplies, and so on. They are really handy and allow you to get those large power supplies (like for printers/scanners) off to the side, and out of the way from your power strips/surge protectors. This frees up more outlets on your power strip for other cords. I used one on my patio---the short (1 foot) extension cord allowed me connect a heavy timer and fasten it to the wall, away from the AC outlet.
A ham radio operator told me once that if you place all those heavy power supplies (that are off to the side of the power strip) on an old aluminum cookie sheet--- e.g., about 9x12", it will act as a "heat sink," thereby dissipating the heat. This is especially wise when those bulky adapters/power supplies are on CARPET---they DO get pretty warm. In theory, they should last longer---heat is an electrical device's worst enemy. So maybe that tip will come in handy for you. As always, be sure to observe common-sense safety rules when using anything electrical like these short extension cords.

It's like an extension cord, but it's like only 1 foot long! Seriously!!! I was shocked that such a product was even available! At first glance one would think, "Now why would anyone want an extension cord that is only 1 foot long?" Hey, I know, I know... it seems silly, but MAN does this product ever rock! You can string three of them together and get like a THREE foot extenstion cord! Now tell me you have never wanted a 3 foot extension cord - cmon. Or how about a 7 foot extension cord? String seven of these bad boys together and you are happening brother. Who hasn't gone to the store and thought that the 6 foot was just not long enough and the eight foot was like WAY overkill. For the love of all that's holy why do they not make a SEVEN foot extension cord!!! Well, now you can make your own!!! It's like a little 1 foot slice of electrical heaven... good times... good times...
Or you can just use it to plug all those bulky AC/DC adapters into a single powerstrip without taking up two or three plugs each. That works too I guess...
