Powerboards are very simple and inexpensive devices used to convert one socket into multiple sockets on a (supposedly) temporary basis. Every house has a number of these devices, with basic devices simply bussing together the pins and more complex devices offering switching of outlets and/or surge protection.

Given that these items are so cheap, it might be wondered why I would even bother modifying or repairing such items which were never designed for repair. Ultimately, I take it as a challenge, but more importantly, fixing something saves you from buying something new and saves environmental resources as well.

Found this interesting.
