Let's hope that it doesn't send your un-encrypted video feeds to their servers without telling you

Phones have a pop up to choose whether to authorize data transfer, if an outlet triggers this pop up, unplug and don’t use the outlet

​@@LightOffArchiveswhoooooosh

@@JD-env1 I am indeed not in the loop

Anker is a good brand

​@@LightOffArchivesA subsidiary of Anker sold surveillance cameras that sent the entire live feed to their own servers even though they explicitly claimed that they wouldn't and I believe it was also fairly easy for anyone to access the data on the servers. So the brand has a bad image now.

“I’m sick of the things I’ve been promoting for the past 5 years”

But he’s promoting this tho lol

What is this referring to? Lol

Love that USB-A. Really going to be useful in two years.

best thin he talks about usb c "ports" and I want to jump at him and make clear there is only one usb c port.

To be fair, USB standards are changing all of the time. There isn’t just a single USB-A and USB-C. They have different types with different data transfer speeds and different power profiles. They all seem to be 5 volts, but amps and watts vary a lot.

@@HaplessMagician Its not always 5V, you can see that when you look at the output ratings of a higher power power supply. But yes, usb standards are evolving, but it's not really a huge deal as long as the port stays the same. But having usb A just makes this thing completely incompatible with new cables.

"I'm tired of not having enough outlets" *removes one outlet*

This! Haha

To be fair the only reason I have so many bricks is bc barely and plug sockets have usb so I end up using a brick.

@@bI00n I have one 100W brick with four ports, and it's in a convenient place for me to charge everything together.

LOL I put on one a year or two ago but it's USB 2.0 not 3.0. Has 2 USB 2.0 ports and 2 outlets

Exactly. Like they have ones with the usb ports and 2 outlets, why get one with just 1 outlet?

Just buy a power brick with 5 outlets or so that you plug in.

Seems like a better solution, because this one reduced the number of wall receptacles -- which means you're screwed once you need to plug in a vacuum cleaner or other high powered appliance that Cannot safely go on a power strip.

I just got a 6 outlet power board with 2 USB A charging ports. Didn't have to rip anything out of the wall. Easy.

@@Zyzigy Not only does this avoid reducing the amount of high-power repctacles.. like replacing the wall out does the power strip method is more environmentally friendly, Because you can also Turn OFF the power brick when you are not using it. Which is a big waste of electricity to have a 12volt source permanently plugged in or installed in the wall, so those electronics are burning watts of power when you're not even charging anything. There's also the trouble that different vendors have different USB-C charging standards - It's not all standardized, and not all USBC devices work with all chargers, And so you may get suboptimal charging speed or failure to charge at all on some devices without the correct power brick.

Also, using a surge protector will protect anything plugged in in case of a power surge, which this won't do. There's literally no advantage to a setup like this.

Random power surge: I’m about to ruin this man’s whole career

Sounds like a north america problem

How?

@@HonestMan112 as if surges can only happen in US

@@g3_angold we have surge protectors

Ah yes, upgrading from 120W to 12W

If it's anything like their flagship charging bricks, the Type C port can go either 65 W or 120 W

This is exactly what I always worry about with these USB outlets. USB chargers need to convert the power and it that takes both space and produces heat and these outlets most likely don't produce as much wattages due to a lack of both space and cooling.

@@fabiandrinksmilk6205 I don't think that would be a problem with the move to GaN chargers. their 65 W chargers are insanely small.

​@@Goodmanperson55its written 35w max which is probably 12w per usb if all used, tbh all wall usb and outlet with usb suck even from named brand

You should know that using fast charge shortens life of your battery. That is why I use 12W chargers wireless chargers. I need 65W or 120W only for laptop. But what an IT guy, who worked for phone manufacturer can know about charging phones...

You’d have to be nuts to trust your house with $25 Anker outlet.

I don't understand your comment

I noticed that too, lol.

As long as it's just the + and - he'll be fine Outlet power is AC not DC

It's not gonna replace the 65w bricks you demonstrated

120W Xiaomi charger*

Topgreener can tho. They have a 60w version

if you get paid to display products it does

He said he would never have to use a power brick again… so that means he’s either never going to leave that room or he’s going to install those outlets everywhere he goes 💩 he is being very shilly

nope. im sticking with my 65w. but I do like the concept, charging brick with outlet passthrough, could be useful.

Fast charging left the chat

After a few months of getting used to it. Going to a hotel: Where do i plug my cable? Oh fk i forgot that brick.

30W total with a caveat: The output of the USB-C port will be reduced to 18W when the USB-A ports are in use. The USB-C port and 2 USB-A ports share a total 30W max output.

Fr? I guess it shouldn't do that because it's connected to grid power (BIG amount of power) compared to a battery (powerbank)

Soo this is like having chargers always plugged in 😬

​@@VirtualTechthats just not how tech works, your phone is not connecting directly to the grid, my guess would be its heating issues and lack of ventilation not allowing higher wattages

What is the trickle current when not in use? If it’s not microamps then the product is trash.

Thats pretty terrible. Its stupid that we still dont have 60w versions yet or 100w

This new outlet is to DIE for

You have to be careful at night not to plug USB-C into the wrong hole 😬

as a firefighter I STRONGLY SUGGEST getting a USB outlet from an extremely reputable source because I have responded countless times to these wall outlets catching on fire

How many are due to poor installation?

Anker is well known coming from a electrician. Im sure u seen what u seen duo

20amp on a 15amp receptacle is a problem duo

@@ICBLACKINU Their issue is their business practices

@@ICBLACKINU I'm talking about those aliexpress crap

This is an amazing idea! More places should be selling these!

Due to the distance from the wall outlet, it's not convenient to install a wall socket with USB charging capabilities. Furthermore, charging protocols may change over time. I believe the power output from such a wall socket would likely be below 120W, and its durability is probably not as good as a regular wall outlet. The above is just my personal opinion

Nice cover up of the "slow charging" warning 😂

he doesnt cover it enough to not see it, it is a message that takes up like half of the screen

@@luca._. Depends on the phone and version of the UI. on my Galaxy A32 and S10 devices, the slow charge warning was barely even 20% of the bottom of the screen, but it did darken the whole screen. They did update this later on from a bigger window if I recall correctly.

@@bluein_ yeah On my S21 FE it is a huge Pop up which also Shows an Image with a phone and Powerbrick and a cable why ever + Text

@@ruleXsand Well, of course it’s for AC, but as such it only fits into an AC outlet. What’s more, he apparently references it, so it’s expected to be working in the plot.

Had usb wall sockets for over 10 years now in my house

@@sampickering2225Nothing wrong with that, just hopefully not ones from Anker

I’m glad people arnt forgetting about this

Anker makes a lot of fantastic products

I loved the hummer series but maybe a little drywall mud and sandpaper is in order as well.

Ah yes, powerstrip with extra steps

Man, can’t wait for the new outlet fork.

Congratulations! You deserve this sort of high-value advertisement client.

That is some quality plastering right there.

That plastering was done via Fax

literally just splat in the wall and called it a day

Lol, searched the comments to see if anyone else said anything about the plastering.

😅😂

It’s always the sockets. It looks like Stevie Wonder just through it on.

I love having a huge ANKER logo in my home at all times. Lovely!

Had these installed for years at this point 🇬🇧

You need to upgrade who ever put the plaster surface on that wall 😂😂

Absolutely shocking

In the South Western US that is how the walls are done. The sheet rock is sprayed and a trowel is used to flatten it. It is fast and cheap and easily covers up poor workman ship. I moved to AZ 2 years ago and I hate the look of it. I much prefer smooth walls that I had back east.

Introducing American walls aka cardboard:

Totally agree !

Knowing how much of a handyman this guy is (evident when he installed an elevator in his house), he probably plastered it himself.

Outlet said: "nooooooooo"

That`s a comfy one! Gotta try it

So your solution to clogging up your wall outlets is... removing one of your outlets...

Not only 1 outlet less, but also three bulky charging bricks less, I can live with that as long as they're not 15w each port😅

​@@chronophobicit's 30w total, so... About 10w each port. Or rather, with the C plugged in, it's 18w, and the 2 A ports are 5w.

@@psiah9889 well, some phone can go up to 65w or even 120w, i myself i use 33w charger, 15w is lame, but it is fine to charge GoPro batteries or any small accessories.

You could also just buy a GaN charger with high wattage and multiple ports one thing to plug in Can charge multiple things at once

@@Tarragonaxi I actually already bought one years ago, apart from the size of the charger and the heat it made, it is irrelevant to the topic here, wall outlet with built-in USB port, can't they just make a GaN rated wall outlet replacement? I bet if everyone told me to get in line on the public phone booth back then, i wouldn't have mobile phones today.

It’s amazing learning about the US - I’ve had this for like 4 years in the uk lol

2019 called and said ABOUT TIME CUPCAKE

Your neutral wire is hooked the wrong way under the screw terminal, always wrap the end of the wire clockwise around the screew so the bend self tightens around the screw

That's why the tester didn't glow when he plug in?

@@VictorGreed0 no, it doeant have that affect, its just less reliable over time because the connection doesnt have as much surface area

@@Sausketo oh thank you

​@@Sausketo but please clarify me or educate me about the other comment the 30W one and why it's not viable?

Maybe he should have found someone who knows what they are doing. That tip of only touching one wire at a time only works of you are standing on a rubber floor. So dangerous with these home improvement videos 😒

Can’t wait to have to upgrade my wall outlet every 5 years when a new USB standard comes out.

Okay understood now I have to carry them to use on the wall wherever I visit...

❤ I love watching Jerry filling holes!

You can get those plugs with the outlet parts till there and the port to plug your charger into

He replaced his 120 w adapter with a 30 w brick

By your way of thinking every receptacle should be capable of 50 amps. There's a lot of USB devices that don't require 120w.

The screws must be good and tight. Loose screws on outlets and breakers cause fire.

Yeah, definitely different wire configurations for different places. I darn near crapped my pants when you said black wire is the hot wire and not the ground wire haha

You’re white wire is wrapped around the screw the wrong way. You want the loop ending to the right so as you tighten the screw it pulls the loop in, not pushing it out.

Let's hope the sparks is better than the plasterer 😂

I could do this at home alone with no supervision but I can confidently say it would be my first and last attempt

“I’m tired of being tired” *Becomes tireless*

lmao

😂😂😂😂

Wasn't that a British submarine?

There was a 15 amp receptacle on a 20 amp breaker. I hope the new receptacle is rated for 20 amps and not 15.

I have that thing that makes one outlet a few outlets, without screwing anything off. And it has cable so I can place it everywhere I want it.

If you're going to hook the wire on the terminal, best to end the hook in the clockwise position👍

"if you dont know what you are doing you should probably find someone who knows what they are doing." Its always my favourite line to come from people that dont know what they are doing as they do it, thats why i dont film my life, to stop people like me from nit picking!

2 phases in a normal outlet? awesome

Very handy if you travel a lot.. just need a screw driver to carry around everywhere and BOOM!

Scratches on a level 4 with deeper grooves on level 5

Yes the plastering 😂

I wanted a durability test too. Lol Let's pack some dirt in it. Let's test its water IPS rating.

Lol can't have a Jerry Rig Everything video without this obligatory comment

"I'll never need a power brick again" -yes, on that *one wall outlet*. :D Jokes aside, love your videos. Keep it up!

Should always use a voltage tester even if you cut off the power

1. A power strip is usually a better solution to bricks clogging up your outlets. It's unlikely that electronic battery devices will pull more than 5 amps AC (roughly 600 watts). 2. The USB-C ports on most products that include AC outlets tend to be pretty anemic, they'll charge your phone faster than USB-A, but not a modern laptop or gaming console. The one used here tops out at 30 watts, whereas a recent USB-PD charger can put out upwards of 200 watts. The reason is likely to prevent fires. 3. You're going to need long (read: expensive) USB-PD cables to reach a typical outlet from a desk or a table.

Yes, and a long cable increases the power loss, so things charge even slower.

ive always wondered if you could do this. Nice

I got an Anker pocket charger for work it is fantastic. Holds a ton of charge

I love that in effect they lose the socket they were complaining about having a power brick in.

Hi @JerryRig i am big fan of yours , the Reactions you oftentimes do on your channel is stunning… keep doing Sir .

Wow, i started fitting these 12 years ago in the UK.

Its probably got a microphone streaming to an open net address oh wait they don't do that

only if its made in china.

Anker didnt do this though and it wasn't a charger.

Make sure that 15A device is rated for that 20A circuit though.

"let me pick the worst spackled wall to demonstrate"

Anker/Eufy tracks your personal data so I'm not trusting that brand ever again. They also keep recording of you from their camera.

you don't have to get this from this brand, also it's ugly, but that might be just because its americana. You can get this from any other brand by searching for usb wall outlet.

@@beardsntools Anker is a chinese company based in china

This is just a power supply though. No data passes through it unless it's tampered with. I'd consider it out of scope of any boycott.

@@user2C47 Actually if these were maliciously made they could pass data through the USB connection. Is the same reason why you're always advised to never plug your phone into public USB outlets.

All companies do that. It's just that when they lie and claim E2EE when there is no E2EE

Lick the wires to make sure you’ve turned off the breaker.

In Sweden (at least) we usually have brown, black or grey as the live wire (brown or black being the most common), neutral is ALWAYS blue but the blue wire might not always be neutral, ground is ALWAYS yellow/green. Could be good to know

I bet it scratches on a level 6 with dipper grooves on a level 7

— I don’t think it’s glass . Probably scratches on a lvl 3 with deeper grooves on a lvl 4 and gouges on a lvl 5 & above .

dipper

dipper

dipper

Its plastic Although deeper groover would be harder

Might want to get a plasterer in to sort the wall finish

Hmm 🤔 I wonder if this Anker product also transfer data to the cloud

China: nope 👀

how? the city power???

@@theod0r Ever heard about these brand new technological stuffs? They are called wireless. Soon we will have everything use this tech , like telephones, computers, why not, even microwaves.

Couple ideas for an "abundance of caution" as I like what Jerry Rig has done. I also double check the Voltage between lines is 0V with a volt meter. Stand on a wood chair if changing lights as the wood is not conductive. Of course there can always be mistakes no matter how many precautions you take.

Jerryrig is a term not a name. The man's name is Zach.

and have Anker cameras record you and send that data to thair servers without your consent!! 👍 sponser with just money in mind!

Riiight, imma need proof on that one

​@@Sausketothey got sued and lost. admitted to it and had a PR shit storm. i believe their brand is eufy but its not hard to look up my thing is, this doesnt have a camera, or memory, and my anker cables have lasted longer than any other ive ever had BY FAR. so I'll stick to anker charging. just skip out on the cameras

Looks easy i think ill give it a try

the charging outlet replaces an entire cord spot anyway, might as well just get the anker power brick at that point.

Keep in mind these do draw a little bit of power even when nothing is plugged in

But few people unplug their adapters when they are not charging their phones, so it’s not really different.

@@TomCee53Yet you can pull those adapters out to undo that effect. Doesn’t justify it for some of us

​@@TomCee53I do unplug my stuff, whats your point?

You should get a Klein touch tester it can do that + wires but keep the socket tester to.

Anker is a very good and reliable company. I bought a braided lightning cable from them 5 years ago with a lifetime warranty and have only replaced it once

I wouldn't trust anker with anything at this point

how come?

They still seem to provide better products than most out there so I really couldn't care less personally.

Bas Rutten expanding his portfolio 😂

Not quite this level, but on a side table next to my sofa (where I always keep my phone), I’ve got a lamp with built in USB ports for charging.

"I am sick of charging bricks clogging up my wall outlet, so instead I'll replace my wall outlets with charging bricks." Yeah, totally useful and not just a cheap cash grab.

He means that the bricks take up a lot of space, whereas a USB port is pretty small and easily accessible. and the outlet has 2 ports as well as a plug socket

Forreal. Such a lazy ad.

@@connorkelly2649 nah jerryrig means one thing - to collect that check and read off the script. Don't kid yourself man. Only a fool would do electrical work to their house to REMOVE an outlet and replace it with something that slow-charges phones and now can't be removed if that second outlet is needed, like a power brick could be....because "he's sick of being able to remove the power brick that's clogging up his wall" What a joke.

​@markwilson1346 idk the power specs of the outlet, but many people wants it. Keep your opinion to yourself 😂

In Australia it’s actually illegal to change any electrical wiring without a licence (in a home)

for these small things I just use a extension chord with splitters and also have a safety feature, costs the same maybe even less, so putting these things directly into a wall is just silly to me, especially seeing that most of these catch on fire easily

In the UK, new houses have come with USB sockets in the mains sockets as standard for years now. Although with everything changing to USB-C, you probably don’t want to splash out on USB-A just yet.

I run a double usb A double AC oulet so get this 2 in outlet plus 10 in surge protectors

most likely useless 5W USB outlet

Do they, not noticed, I would be ripping them out immediately. USB outlets in your sockets sounds like a good idea. The reality is they are a pretty bad idea.

​@@jonathanbuzzard1376why is it a bad idea? Been in the uk for a long time now we have very highly rated outlets here and no problems...

Cool now i gotta buy longer cables too, i Rather get one of those extension cubes or desk towers

"I'm sick of charging bricks clogging up my wall outlets" Proceeds to remove a power outlet and replace it with a power brick.

You know they have things called power strips

My thoughts exactly. This might look a bit nicer, but power strips solve the same problem for a fraction of the effort and cost

Not to mention a power strip would let you plug in things that don't have USB based charging cords. I'm pretty sure the reason most chargers even have a USB end is so you can do data transfers without buying a different cord, it's not like USBs have become a standard cord for everything that uses electricity.

​​@@lizzytheowl577Maybe not a standard yet but there's a lot of devices now that use USB and they rarely come with a brick. We have some of these receptacles in our house (similar but still have both outlets) and they are very handy.

My dad made me replace the ceiling fan and all the outlets in our apartment when I was seven years old. Handed me the box, said read the instructions and get to work. I played with Legos: I was _ready_

Hey just a little thing, I think you put the blk wire on counter clockwise. Which isnt anything too crazy, but normally its done clockwise. So when the screw tightens, it coils the wire end a bit more making a more solid connection. Whereas counter clockwise can have the opposite effect(sometimes pushing part of the stripped wire out). Probably perfectly fine
