Take a look at that power strip, what do you think?

He claims the motor has 2hp and he runs it along with his DC. That looks to me to be a heater next to the machine.

I have no issue with power strips, but regardless of how many outlets you have, you still cannot exceed the amp rating of the breaker, or it will trip (hopefully before the fire starts)

Thanks. I needed that.

This guy called me a "smug know it all" because I warned him of the danger.

Most if not all insurance companies wouldn't even pay out a claim if the power strip was the cause of the fire.
