It only has the joules rating which is unfortunately pretty low (840j), so I wouldn't risk an expensive equipment e.g. a TV on this.
Looked through all previous threads and reviews/ QnA - anyone know what the clamping voltage is?
For ~$20, the best ones I've found so far are these amazon ones (only the 12-outlet versions - not the 8-outlet)

These have been well documented to be 330-400-400 clamping voltage, 4320 joules; and come on sale periodically for ~15$
On paper the best rating we can get (only short of the TrippLite Isobars which go for $50+).
The above are rebrands of the APC

Flip it around. Now it comes out the bottom. Lol
The outlets are held in place by cheap plastic clips and the outlet has a very strong clamping force.
These outlets are only good if you unplug devices once or twice a month only, not to be used daily.
The plastic clips will fail and you will eventually pull out the plastic socket because of the cheap clips that break easily due to the strong clamping force.
I bought an amazon warehouse one and returned it thinking it was defective, but I bought a brand new one which had the same problem. I unplugged it like 5 to 10 times within a week and it broke.
I almost got myself killed, but thankfully i unplugged the power strip before unplugging my usb charger.
I also left a 1 star review with a video and pictures of what i am talking about on amazons page.
Now now. Can't tell you how many times I've gotten shocked, 110 USas well as 240 EU. Still alive and kicking
APC Performance Surge Protector model P11U2 has a surge rating of 2880J and has a thing called catastrophic event protection. In the event that the surge protection components fail the surge protector will shut down completely to protect your electronics.

The real issue with this strip is that it literally falls apart.
Putting that aside, thinking that a person will be fine getting shocked is quite stupid.
First you should get checked by a doctor for any heart issues if you got shocked more times than you can count.
Second, if you got shocked more times than you can count, you should stop doing what you are doing and hire a professional because apparently you can't do the job properly without getting shocked.
What happens when there is enough current to cause the heart to stop or muscles to contract and not let go of what you are grabbing?
It's weird that you think it is okay for someone to use a product that has a design flaw which could potentially kill them.

Im fine. But people make it sound like it will instantly kill you. It won't.
