By the early 20th century, Elgin was producing over 1 million watches per year and was the largest producer of fine watches in the world. Lord Elgin – one of the high-end product lines produced by the Elgin Watch Company, was introduced in the late 1930s and continued through the 1950s. The Lord Elgin watches were known for their precision movements and elegant designs and were often marketed as luxury watches. Lord Elgin watches were also known for their innovative features, such as shock-resistant, self-winding movements and fancy shape cases and crystals.

Very nice! Perfect description and I can see these lasting a good long time!
Style: 12ft Cord (Black), Pattern Name: Single
We recently moved and needed much longer cords for some exercise equipment that requires surge protectors. We looked around and found these available in a variety of lengths. We bought two after measuring to make sure we got the right length, and we are very happy. They are the full length as advertised. Flexible cord with durable plugs and seem very sturdy! Nice, heavy wire covering - nothing flimsy about them! Very pleased with the quality for the price!

Good, Solid Surge Protector From Well-Known Company
Style: 12ft Cord (Black), Pattern Name: Single
This surge protector does exactly what it is supposed to do. The on-off switch feels solid. The long cord is thick, and seems pretty heavy-duty. It's just a good, basic, solid surge protector, made by a good company. There are definitely cheaper, no-name brand surge protectors available, but how often do you buy these things? I figured I may as well spend a few extra dollars and go with a quality company and get a quality product. If for some reason this surge protector stops working, or some of the outlets do, (as happened with the protector this one is replacing,) I will come back and update this review, but I honestly don't believe that will happen with a Tripp Lite product. [...]. On the other hand, if you did not find this review helpful, I’d be interested in hearing why, so that I can attempt to edit it and make it more helpful to both you and others. If you leave a comment on the review, suggesting how it would be more helpful, I promise to respond to your comment, and to attempt to incorporate your suggestion in my review, if it is at all possible for me to do so. My goal is to write reviews that help people, as I have been helped by the reviews others have written. Thanks!

Save time by buying Tripp Lite first
Style: 12ft Cord (Black), Pattern Name: Single
+ UL Listed (safest for your devices) + Long cord for reach + More outlets than most of the same format I tried to get something more tailored to my use and get a surge protector with a longer cable and more outlets, but that one wasn't UL Listed unlike this one is. Do not risk it, only buy UL Listed surge protectors. This one is perfect.

Sturdiest surge protector I've seen
Style: 12ft Cord (Black), Pattern Name: Single
I was very surprised by the quality of this surge protector, especially for the price I payed. Pros: Sturdy construction, and nice color. It's barely visible under my desk. Very tight grip on whatever is plugged in so there is no risk of anything accidentally coming unplugged. Thick gauge cord but surprisingly pliable so it bends easily for hiding and bundling up excess length. Visible and satisfying LED light shows your electronics are protected. Guarantee printed right on the box insuring your electronics in case of a damaging power surge. Cons: Nothing that comes to mind! I would strongly recommend this surge protector to anyone looking to manage lots of plugs for a computer, a large entertainment center or just a group of electronics plugged into the same outlet. I know it seems silly to be so enthusiastic over something as trivial as a surge protector but when it comes to protecting large investments you shouldn't put faith in a $5 bargain power strip. I'm buying Tripp Lite any time I need more outlet space from now on!
