LF: American DJ Powerbars

[ScubaSteve]

Man, for the Amazon.ca price you could just build your own... In fact, that's what I'd do and what I've done in the past. I'd heavily consider it.

Other option is, if you don't live too far from the USA border, you can buy it on amazon.COM for a big discount and have it shipped to a mailbox on the other side. Go for a weeknd drive and pick it up. "Oh, but it's such a long drive and the gas would off set the cost!"... Sign up for a free trial of Amazon Prime, get free 2-day shipping, buy a year's supplies at 50% of what Amazon.ca would cost and your save yourself a bundle.

I'll qualify this by recognizing the dollar makes this a little less sweet these days...

That said, even with the state of the dollar I saved about 40% the other week when ordering from Amazon.com.

It wouldn't be too hard to build your own, those switches and plug blanks are easy to get. Just need some metal and paint

I've never had a problem with the American DJ powerbars, what is the issue?

That's for 5 switches, the plugs are about that too and available at any electrical store, technically you can make it out of lexan with no metal at all, whole thing would be $50 in materials and custom. you could even build in a gfci for another $20
