At a glance
The Tool Guardian 5-Way Power Block with Worklight is a practical indoor power solution for workshops, garages and bench spaces where you need to run several tools or devices at once. It suits DIY users and home work areas thanks to its five sockets, USB-A charging, carry handle and built-in light.

Things to consider
It is a versatile indoor power block, but premium or specialist alternatives may offer weather resistance, higher-duty construction or more advanced surge protection details.
Home office suitability
Good for mixed device setups where you need extra sockets and USB charging, though the workshop-style block design is less discreet than office-focused boards.
Surge protection score
7/10 - includes surge protection for added device safety, but no advanced surge specification details are provided.
Portability rating
8/10 - block format and carry handle with rubberised grip make it easy to move around indoor work areas.
Multi-device compatibility
High - supports up to five mains-powered devices or tools plus two USB-A charged devices.
Durability vs category average
Above average for indoor use - the block design and carry handle suit regular repositioning in workshops and garages.
Key benefits
- 5-way socket design: Powers up to five tools or devices from one block, helping keep your work area more organised.
- Master switch: Lets you turn connected devices on or off from one central switch for simpler control.
- Built-in worklight: Adds targeted light near power points and close-range tasks, making it easier to plug in equipment in dim spaces.
- Dual usb-a ports: Charges phones and other compatible devices alongside your powered tools without using a socket.
- 15.5w usb charging: Provides up to 15.5 W fast charging for compatible USB-powered devices.
- 3m lead: Gives you 3 m of reach to place the block where it is most useful around a bench or indoor workspace.
- Carry handle with rubberised grip: Makes it easier to move and position the power block where you need it.
- Surge protection: Helps shield connected electronics from unexpected power spikes.
Q: Can the USB ports charge a laptop or only smaller devices?
A: No. The two USB-A ports provide 15.5W total, which suits phones and other small USB devices. That output is not intended for laptops, which usually need higher wattage and often USB-C charging rather than USB-A.
Q: Is the built-in worklight bright enough for whole-room lighting?
A: No. The built-in light is a 3W worklight designed for close-range visibility when plugging in tools or working near the power block. It is useful in dim corners or under benches, but not as a main light for a full room.
Q: Will this power block suit outdoor jobs or damp worksites?
A: No. This power block is designed for workshops, garages and other indoor work zones. It is a better fit for dry areas near a bench or tool setup than exposed outdoor or damp locations.
Q: Does surge protection make it safe for sensitive electronics?
A: Yes, for basic protection. Tool Guardian GPTOB30O includes surge protection to help shield connected electronics from unexpected power spikes. It is a useful safeguard for everyday gear, but it is not a guarantee against every electrical event.
Q: How far can you place it from the wall socket?
A: Tool Guardian GPTOB30O has a 3m lead, so it can sit on a bench, floor or shelf without hugging the wall outlet. That gives more placement flexibility in a garage or workshop, though it still needs an indoor power point nearby.
