Have one of these, can't even run my miter saw on it, not "heavy duty" at 15 amps unless the reason it's heavy duty is because it's painted yellow

this is NOT a heavy duty surge protector

the name is criminally misleading
Korishan
This is only 14/3, tho. So would be limited to 15A max capacity

What makes this heavy duty. The metal casing that shocks you when it shorts to ground?

Im a risk taker. I have an old 2 prong outlet, got one of those 3 prong adapter, I have surge protector strip attached to that. I have a laptop, monitor, echo show, iPad, and phone charger attached to it. And when I watch tv or play game consoles I plug those. Haven't had any issues the last 3 yrs
Surge protection cannot fully function without a Ground, since the surge energy from both hot/neutral is diverted/dissipated to Ground. Without a Ground to provide a 0 reference, the shunt devices may not even switch on.
Another posted that a Type2 SPD can be installed at the subpanel, which can handle the majority of the surge.
If that outlet is near pooling water, and/or your devices are not double-insulated - and/or has a metal chassis- I would suggest at least temporarily using those short GFCI extension cords for personal safety. While those cords get alot less safety oversight than actual GFCI outlets (which _may comply with code in some areas's usage for ungrounded homes), it's quick safety.

Edit: Grounding is important when the chassis is conductive or there's no evidence the product is double-insulated. Those short GFCI cords are a temporary measure.

Is this enough safe for 6 computers at the same time?
Thanks.
Depends on the computers. I often run 6 computers off a single power strip, but they are not gaming PC's doing anything that requires much power, and they don't even have advanced gaming video cards. Each is surely under 100 watts with monitor, so that is less than 600 watts total (probably way under), and under 6 amps total.

Quote from Enix82 :
I wouldn't run power tools through a surge protector. The high draw on the tool motor starting screws with them and eventually damages. The high draw of the miter saw is causing the MOVs to shunt on startup and trip the internal breaker.

You wouldn't plug a microwave or heater in a surge protector would you? Don't plug in heavy power tools. Get a quality extension cord or better straight to the outlet.

Just my .02 opinion.
Finally. Someone on SD that KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT.

Add up all of the computer power supply max watts. It should be < 1800 watts. If they are gaming computers and you're using them (gaming) at the same time. Then no. However, typical office usages should be fine. 1800 watts / 6 = 300 watts. My computer only consumes about 200 watts for office stuff.

It's 15 amps. That's the full wattage of residential outlets.
