I need something like that as i'm continually changing sockets to power Gps,Satellite radio, CB radio,DVD player and a few others i cant remember at the moment,
If plugged into a lighter socket i'm wondering if 4 things plugged in would cause a problem with blown fuses..

Small gadgets such as your GPS, Cellphone and satellite radio shouldn't be a problem. I'm not sure about the power draw on a CB radio or DVD player though. It all comes down to power rating and load.
