Safe to attatch two powerstrips together?

[jman19]

As I am lacking an extension cord, I was wondering if it is safe to attatch one power strip to another (using the first strip to provide more length). Just wondering, as I feel particularly lazy right now and have no desire to go to the local Rite-Aid :beer:

yes it is fine. you are still limited to the 15AM circuit breaker on the first strip however.

nope it's safe im doing it as i speak. computer + CRT + speakers + desk light and sometimes cell/battery charger

What about a battery backup to a surge port of another battery backup?

I wonder if they planned it like that to limit your electric usage. You were probably on the same circuit as another room, too.

NO DON'T DO IT! YOU'RE CRAZY TO DO IT! YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT COULD HAPPEN! YOU MIGHT SUCK UP ALL THE ENERGY AND LEAVE NONE FOR THE REST OF US!

It is a fire hasared, but it is safe to do. As some one said you are still limit to the amps that the first strip supports.
