Anyone ever see a teardown of this? Is it just like any other standard power strip or did they put internally outlets that can take a full 15A load safely.

It's basically a regular power strip, with metal housing thus calling it "heavy duty". The 14 gauge is just for show as it's rated for only 15A. 15A is hardly heavy duty.
Having said that, for a metal housing power strip, this is still a good price and great for a shop where you may step on it by accident (in which case you don't belong in the shop 😂)
I got this for $14.23 in 01/2020. It works fine. I cant comment on running something high draw like a table saw or miter but seems like it will be fine long as you don't start them at a time. You will probably trip your breaker before you have any issues.
Most receptacles are on 15amp breakers so wouldn't this having a 15amp breaker built in seems redundant? Seems like the box breaker will trip before this ever does. But i guess it has other application beyond the average home shop.

Keep it under 15A and it will be fine.
