You don't really need surge suppression for circular saws, anyway, and you can always plug this into a ZeroSurge, SurgeX or Brick Wall if you want protection for expensive electronics.

This strip is simple, too, without any surge suppression circuitry with MOVs that will eventually burn out.

It would have been nicer if it had surge suppression, but it was not advertised as such so I can't blame them for that.
