Quick Summary
The ExtraStar 4-way extension lead is a black mains power strip with surge protection, 4 sockets and a 5 m extension cord. It is stated as 13A/250V~ with a maximum load of 3120W, so the key buying checks are socket count, cable length and whether the connected devices stay within the rated limit.
The lead also has a wall-mounting hole on the back, which is useful if you want the strip fixed in place rather than left loose on the floor or desk.

Before You Decide
Confirm that you want a 4-way extension lead rather than a different socket count. Check the 5 m cord length against the distance to your power point, and make sure the combined connected load stays within 13A/250V~ and 3120W. If wall mounting matters, the back mounting hole is a useful detail to note before choosing an offer.
