    Whats inside a Plug-in Power Strip? Pic's

    This is how I pop open the power strips, you know the one's with 6 plug-in's on top and a 5' cord. I cut the cord off first so I'm not wrestling with it.
    Then I take out the few phillips screws on the bottom. I then put it in the vise along the side seam where it's fastened together and squeeze it till it pops open (you'll hear it snap).

    Remove the bottom and a couple of screws in the circuit board (some have screws,some don't) and remove the brass strips and circuit boards.

    This is the goodies out of the power strip, little bit of heavy wire, brass strips, couple of switches and the circuit boards with some copper.
