My observation is that the body of the thing is going to be too big to plug into some devices.

I think at a minimum they need to elongate the male end so it'll give clearance to adjacent plugs or any protrusions on the device it's plugged into.  I'd second the motion for an external ground screw.  If you had to install two of them on adjacent ports then it'd be better off as a dongle than a self contained unit like that.

....but in general yeah I suppose a self contained surge suppressor isn't a crazy idea.

And you have to make sure that the jack is the shielded grounded variety or this will do nothing. Moreover, it is best to route the surge away from the equipment, not depend on the equipment to ground the surge. I have tried these little TVS chips they use for these things.  They do work.  I am more of a believer that you want gas tube protection now-a-days.

Saw this recently posted on FB. I like the concept but would prefer an external ground point. I'd be curious to see Chuck test these. I don't think he could fit all of his electrical goodness
into a connector this small.
