Does this type of extension lead exist?

Searched high and low, and the only one I have seen doesn't seem to be available..
I want a domestic type extension lead with the on/off switch halfway up the lead, not on the socket bit.
Maybe one of those foot switches would be good..
Any suggestions gratefully accepted 🙂

I've not seen that.

Is it a bending /access issue? What about remote-control switches?

^ to add, smart ones, or non smart, just plain old remote control.

Make your own, all you need is a properly rated switch?

It's an access issue, as most of my sockets are behind bookshelves
I'm old school, so hadn't considered remote, thank you, I'll look into them!
Plain old remote would do me.

And now the idea of making my own… hmmm.

Thank you, both. 🙂

How about one with the switch on the other socket, ie not the wall socket? I've got some that also have USB slots.

Put 2 together with switch on the socket that lands in the middle.

Do you mean plug an extension lead into an extension lead? If so, that’s really not recommended due to a fire risk.

It's easy to wire a switch in so that it can be where and what you want
