Xtreme Power From An Xtremely Yellow Box
By Sean O'Hara
Need multiple outlets and GFCIs from your jobsite generator in no time flat? The Xtreme box portable power distribution unit from Coleman Cable breaks out a 50 amp 125V or 250V power supply into six straight blade, 20 amp, 125V standard outlets for power tools and other gear. And though it’s intended for use with a generator, you can plug it into any onsite outlet as well.
For heftier power requirements, it also features a NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) rated 30 amp, 250V locking outlet. All outlets are circuit breaker protected and the six 125V outlets are GFCI protected with weather-resistant covers. The safety retina burning yellow box is made from heavy-gauge steel and a reinforced sled base keeps the box off the ground during wet conditions.
As scary as it might sound, its $468 price tag isn’t really that much when you consider that this is a serious piece of gear that provides safe power in not so safe conditions. The alternative? Just take your chances. Ouch!
