CCCEI AN-B44-20 Heavy-Duty Surge Protector, 12-Gauge 6-Foot Cord
Product description
For a garage bench with several plugged-in devices, the CCCEI AN-B44-20 provides four outlets and a 6-foot cord in a wall-mountable strip. Individual switches let you control outlets without unplugging each device. It’s a more substantial setup than a basic desk strip, while still intended for indoor use.
Tips for day-to-day use
The yellow housing and wall-mount design make it easier to locate and place the strip in a workshop or garage. Its four widely spaced outlets can accommodate multiple plugs, and each outlet has its own switch. That can be useful when you want to shut off one connected device while leaving others plugged in. The cord is 12-gauge and 6 feet long, so consider where the strip will sit and whether that reach suits your workspace before choosing it.
The product is rated for 20 A, but the listing also says not to exceed 1,875 W. Keep the total connected load within that stated limit, and don’t treat the individual switches as permission to run several high-draw appliances together. It is recommended for indoor use, the manufacturer says to protect it if used outdoors, so it is not presented as an outdoor-ready strip.
What you’ll notice day to day
The combination of a metal enclosure, wall-mount option, grounded plug, and surge protection is aimed at a fixed work area rather than a small, lightweight strip for occasional use. The surge rating is 4,800 joules, and an indicator light shows surge protection status. Overload protection and grounding protection are also listed. These features may be relevant when several devices share a workspace, but they don’t replace checking the electrical requirements of each device.
Buyer feedback often highlights the sturdy feel and the convenience of controlling outlets separately, with garage and workshop use mentioned as common fits. Comments about safety are mixed, however: some buyers describe it as safe, while another raises a fire-hazard concern. That difference is a reason to follow the stated load limit and use the strip as directed, rather than relying on general impressions as a safety guarantee.

When it makes sense
It’s a great fit if you want a wall-mounted strip for an indoor garage or workshop, need four separately switched outlets, and can keep connected equipment within the stated 1,875 W limit. Compared with a basic extension strip, this model adds individual controls, a heavier-gauge cord, and stated surge protection, a simpler strip may make more sense for a light-duty setup that does not need those features. It might not be a great match if you need a product specifically rated for outdoor use, since the listed recommended use is indoors.
