Rod magnets are placed into the cavities of power strips

I have several devices on the fridge that I plug into a power strip. It is important to me to be able to cut off electricity and save energy, especially when the TV is not in use. I didn't want to hang the power strip on the wall or let it collect dust on the floor.

I had a better idea. I glued six rod magnets S-05-08-N in the cavities on the bottom side of the power strip.

Now, the multi-outlet power strip is attached to the side of the fridge. That makes it easy to disconnect the appliances from the power source and prevent stand-by energy losses. I can also attach the multi-outlet power strip to metal shelves in the workshop or the basement.

Note from the supermagnete team:
If your power strip doesn't have any holes, you can also glue strong self-adhesive magnets to the back of the strip.
