Earlier today, something inside this powerboard went bang, very loudly, and tripped a breaker. I just noticed that when that happened, it was powerful enough to have cracked the faceplate of each socket in the process.
I'm probably going to have to open this up at some point and see the carnage.
I love this, so I

That's it until I see if I can turn the video into something.

in reply to Thomas Sturm • • •@tsturm I tried an emoji as well but it kind of detracted from the shocked socket face so I left it alone.
I've got so much to do already haha, I am having fun but I'm not going to spend hours on tweaking this, no matter how much fun it is.

in reply to Greg Hills • • •@winterknell I have a little zip up case for "weird screwdrivers" and yeah it's been handy on many occasions!
The triangle one and the 2-prong security bits are probably the most common uncommon ones.
Well, unless you count Torx but they're probably almost normal to have now.
