Extension Leads

When a power cable just isn’t long enough, or the socket is in an awkward position, an extension lead is a perfect solution. It’s not just about convenience either. Surge-protected extension leads can help safeguard electrical items.

What is an Extension Lead?

An extension lead is a means of safely extending the reach of a power source. It features one or more extra plugs and a long, covered wire. At Toolstation, we stock extension leads, cable and cords from one to ten-gang, in various lengths up to 25 metres. Whether you need a ten-metre extension lead with four sockets or a two-metre extension lead with six sockets, find what you’re looking for here.

Types of Extension Leads

There are several different types of extension leads available. These include multi-socket leads, extension wheels with extra-long cables, extension socket towers, cube extension leads and multi-socket plugs. We stock black and white extension lead to work with any décor. Find a wide range of extension leads, multi-socket adapters, socket extension, tower sockets, extension cube and other accessories at Toolstation.

Choosing the Right Extension Lead

Not all extension leads are the same. Consider these factors when selecting the right one for your needs:
- Number of sockets (gang) — from 1-gang for single devices to 10-gang for home offices and entertainment setups
- Cable length — from 0.5m for desk use to 25m for garden and workshop applications
- Surge protection — essential for protecting computers, TVs and other sensitive electronics
- Switched sockets — individually switched outlets help save energy and reduce standby power consumption
- USB ports — built-in USB-A and USB-C ports for charging phones and tablets without a separate adaptor
