More sockets, more flexibility - a good extension lead is one of the most useful additions to any workshop, garage, kitchen, or home office. At the DIY Hardware Store, our extension leads range covers the lengths and socket configurations most commonly needed for both domestic use and trade applications, with safety features appropriate to the environments they're used in.
The key specifications for any extension lead are the number of sockets, the cable length, the cable rating (in amps), and whether the lead incorporates surge protection or a switch. For high-power applications - space heaters, power tools, workshop equipment - a lead with a sufficient current rating for the expected load is essential. An undersized cable will heat up under load, which is both a fire risk and a sign the lead is being used beyond its specification. Cable reel leads should always be fully extended before use under significant load. Available at the DIY Hardware Store in a range of lengths from 2m to 10m with 2, 4, and 6 gang socket heads.
