Desktop Edge Power Outlets with USB Ports,Desk Clamp Power Strip,Aluminum Alloy Fireproof Power Strip,Removable Desktop Mount Multi-Outlets for Home Office Reading

Easy to install

I needed a power strip that I could clamp to my desk that also provided USB charging. This item isn't perfect, but it met my needs and looked the best.Pros:1. Looks good. I wouldn't say it looks great, it's still looks a bit industrial, but it's better than most similar products available.2. Has the right amount of ports. I had a similar product with 2 AC outlets and 2 USB ports and I found that I occasionally needed either one more AC outlet or 1 more USB port.3. Only sticks out 1/4" beyond the back of the desk. The similar product I had protruded 1.75 inches from the back of the desk, so the desk couldn't be moved very close to the wall. With this new item, the power cord is the thickest part that would go behind the desk.4. Has a USB-C port. This eliminates a power brick for people that need a USB-C port for charging a phone or tablet.Cons:1. Clamping to desk is not very secure. No matter what I do, the clamp will slide on the desk surface when I plug/unplug 3-prong power cords in the AC outlets. I'm afraid to tighten the clamp any more because either the clamp might break or it may damage the wooden desk surface. Similar items come with a rubber pad that attaches to adheres to the clamp between the clamp and the desk surface, but this item didn't have one.2. Loose mounting between the power strip and the clamp. The sliding adjustments that let you change the offset of the power strip on the clamp seem like an afterthought. When the adjustments are locked into place, the strip still wiggles/wobbles where it's attached to the clamp.3. No Flat AC plug. This item is very likely to be plugged in behind a desk whether it the power plug could be either accidentally kicked by someone's foot or have the desk pushed up against the plug. It makes sense to have a flat (90-degree) power plug on this item.4. No power-switch. This would be a nice safety/convenience/energy-saving feature.5. USB-C power delivery is only 18W. USB-C can support up to 100W and it would be nice is this item was rated for at least 60W so that it could be used to power and charge a typical laptop.

Does the job. Good stuff

I have a few of these clamp on power strips and find them very useful and typically very cheap since I don’t want USB plugs most of the time. This was going to be the main power strip on display on my main desk so I decided to go for something that looked a bit nicer, and specifically a usb c port that supports power delivery, and this one seemed to be what I was looking for. Looking at it closely, it is very obviously cheap plastic with many seams in nonsensical places. It has an interesting feature where the strip can slide along the piece that clamps to the desk which is nice so I can center the clamp near the power outlets which require more force to insert unlike the usb plugs. The issue here is that no matter how tight you lock the locking mechanism, the entire main unit wobbles around which makes it feel extremely cheaply made. I haven’t tested the USB ports yet but based on how cheap the entire thing is I’m a bit scared. There’s also no obvious way to nondestructively disassemble the unit to allow me to check the safety of the usb plugs. So I’m not sure I will ever use them. The last issue I have is how far apart the plugs are. Not far enough that wall warts will fit next to each other, but far enough that they easily could have fit 2 or 3 more plugs in. Especially on the ends—the product seems to have been designed as a rectangle with empty round bits added to either end making it a good 3 inches longer for no real purpose. Again, if it could be opened these would be great places to add personal modifications like Ethernet ports or USB ports that I trust, but I haven’t found a single screw and prying at the seems hasn’t gotten me anywhere. Hopefully fixing the rattling will be as easy as gluing the pointless sliding piece in place.Conclusion is that it functions and does what it advertises, just not particularly well for this price point. I think next time I’ll just go for something cheaper that’s smaller, without usb, but the same number of outlets and a better locking mechanism.

Needs a little rubber to stop sliding when it's tightened down, but other than that it works great and super convenient

The product works well as far as positioning on the desk, the clamp works well and is sturdy enough, and the cord is long enough for all positions on my adjustable desk. The only reason I am giving this product 3 stars is that, though the outlet plugs all work as they should one of the main reasons I purchased this particular product was for the USB and USB-C charging ports. The blue light indicator for the strip is active and yet none of the USB ports work, the USB ports do not work at all to charge devices and the USB-C port does not charge anything effectively only giving a small pulse of energy from time to time. I assume this is a wiring issue as some power is going through the USB-C port, just not enough to actually charge a device.

If you connect more than one item the power supplied via the USB ports is not consistent. For example if you have an LED light connected it will start flickering the moment you connect your cell phone...

Product comes with no instructions, thankfully it's simple enough to figure out. Easy to install with about a 6ft power cord. A nice feature is that you can slide it about 2 inches in either way which can come in hand if you can only clamp it on a certain part but want it to be more one direction or the other.
