This thread got me thinking. Does any one make what looks like a standard outlet like the ones that we see all over our house that you can put into a standard outlet with some type of on off switch on the side or bottome. I have my air compressor unplugged and I have to plug it in every time I want to use it. Not a huge deel but it would be nice to just flip the switch and turn it on and I don't intend on doing or having any one do any wiring in the garage. I could use a power strip I suppose but I was kind of thinking some thing like a power strip only more like a power block. I have seen ones that you plug into a 2 socket outlet that has six sockets but never one with a power on off switch.

I have a collection of 1/18th scale formula one cars in a couple of show cases and they use somewhat the same setup to back light the displays.
