Re: Rookie pit question
Lots of good suggestions here. I just want to remind everyone that many regionals will have a one outlet, one power strip policy. No daisy-chaining of power strips, no splitters. We bought a 10-outlet power strip, and a 4-bank battery charger that uses only one outlet. So we'll have plenty of outlets for laptops, power tools, tool battery chargers, etc. We're also not supposed to bring big power tools (floor-standing drill press, lathe, mill, etc.), so the one outlet policy shouldn't be a problem if you plan for it.

The way things generally work in cases like this is simple: if you know something, you can't say it. So keep in mind that if someone does say something, it usually means they don't know. - Alan Anderson [more]
