Does this exist? I've been looking for one for a kitchen outlet that
gets all the wall-warts & an occasional hand-held mixer. The
6-outlet taps look out of place on a double duplex outlet. [and with
my current set of bricks they really only gain 1 outlet because they
are closer together]

I've looked at power strips but they all seem so bulky. One of
these days I might put a quad-duplex outlet in that spot-- but in the
meantime. . .

I've been browsing all the usual department & hardware stores in
person and online and haven't seen anything I really like. Am I
missing something?

Thanks,
Jim

Most of them are power bars. Some come with a very short cord to avoid rats
nests. Some also come with wide spaced outlets for fitting bulky wall warts.
Costco has one that is about 3+ feet long with outlets spaced about every
4 - 5 inches.
