When clearing out my father's house two years ago, I found power strips that were 30 years old, and built like industrial grade devices. Very heavy units, heavy wire, great lights, hefty positive click switches.
The ones that are sold today seem like total and absolute lightweight junk, made in China. I do not trust them at all.
So, I always end my sessions by turning off all power block switches, and unplugging the transformer. Currently it is plugged into a wall socket, but I am going to install an outlet box on the side of my table, with a 20 amp wire going to the outlet, to be plugged into the wall outlet, so that I can plug and unplug my transformer at waist height, right next to my control box.
As far as an emergency kill switch, Johns use of the remote fob devices seems to be the way to go.
