All the stuff marketed out there may provide some protection against strikes in the area or other high-voltage low-energy (note the difference) events, but for the real deal they're as useless as public bathroom toilet paper. Even a breaker will be limited btw, since they're built to withstand a certain arcing voltage that a proper bolt will just laugh at, but it's still better than the arcing voltage of the switch in the wall plug. As always, best remains to yank the main plug from the wall.</p></blockquote><p></p>
