There are a lot of products that look like this available on amazon. Almost all of them are from brandnames I do not recognize. This was my second attempt. The first one was a major failure, but the Hercules Tuff was a great experience before it even arrived. The staff contacted me with the backstory on the product development. Lightning cables were included. The feature set was better, and more thoughtful than other products. The spacing allows for thick cases, the LED lighting glows to let you know charging is happening or a device is fully charged. The dividers are removable. . . . oh, and as an added benefit, unlike my previous attempt at a USB charging bank, all of the USB ports work. And they work silently. The wattage is sufficient for multiple iPads and phones.
This charging station has made having iPads in the classroom so much easier! I love that the dividers are sturdy enough to stand up to first graders grabbing and putting away the iPads. Several teachers in my school bought a different charging station and their dividers broke within weeks. My station is almost a year old and none of the dividers have broken! I love how easy it is to plug the iPads in when they need to be charged. No more cords getting tangled or having to move furniture to access every outlet in my room. I can charge all 6 iPads from the same outlet!
After almost a year, there is definitely wear on the unit. The silver color is starting to come off from students dragging and pushing iPads in the slots, but not enough for me to care about.
I now own not one, not two, but THREE charging stations. I use them in my classroom for my high school students to charge their phone. It’s a win-win for them and for me. They get a quick 45 minute charge. I get an almost phone free lesson! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Each station is equipped with charging cords for iPhones, iPads and android phones. It’s super great!
I purchased the 6-station hub for Apple devices. It comes with 4 Lightning cables, 1 micro-usb, and 1 type C. The hub solidly sits on a table and easily supports my 3 iPads and 3 Fire tablets. All of the cables, including the power cable, are on one side of the hub. It’s possible to place the hub so that the cables hang down the back of a table or cabinet. (Even short cables look ugly hanging around).
Make sure you solidly seat the plastic dividers, i.e., make sure you hear each one “click” into place. You need to put a bit of pressure on it to get it to click in. If the dividers are solidly clicked into place, they move only slightly and will easily support iPads and their keyboard covers. My iPads are all 3/4” thick (including their keyboard covers).
As long as it’s plugged in, the hub is always powered on. The switch is just a light switch. It’s not a power switch. It switches the blue LED light on or off, that’s all. When the switch is turned on, the back divider is always lit up blue. In addition, each charging cable plugs into a port located under one of the other 6 plastic dividers. When a cable is plugged into a device, the corresponding plastic divider lights up blue and remains lit until the device is fully charged, then it turns off.
I’m happy with the hub. It’s a lot easier to manage cables, keep numerous devices charged, and see (by the blue light) when they’re fully charged and ready to go. Plus, this hub charges at the faster 2.4A on all 6 ports.
After much research and returning numerous brands that made claims that were simply untrue I found this Hercules Tuff product. I was so impressed I did a quick YouTube video. It answers lots of questions at pottsy1907.
Basically this product does everything the others claim to do but DON’T!
It’s rapid charge. It comes with cables. It won’t scratch a surface. It will charge multiple devices brilliantly. It has an ON /OFF switch, many don’t have this basic want. The deviders are sturdy, solid, won’t move when u pull out ur device and actually hold ur device.
This is it. I would def recommend.

So far we are very happy with this charging station. It is much heavier than our previous one from another company. This one doesn't move around at all and supports two smart phones, an 8 in. tablet and a 10 in. tablet. We left out one divider so my husband could actually have room to charge his phone in his hip case without removing it each time. Works great. We had an issue initially with the dividers falling out when we pulled out one of the items we were charging and we just realized we didn't snap the dividers all the way in.
Why didn't I give it a 5? Too early. Will be happy to come back later and do that if it continues to work. We tried another charger from another company and it didn't last 6 months. This one is definitely heavier and charging our items very quickly so I'm hoping it will last.
We couldn't use some of the chargers b/c we don't have I-phones. Love that this company will send 3 additional cords of your choice to meet our needs. That's a great idea. We haven't received them yet but I just ordered them. At least the company is very flexible.
I have the iPad pro and an iPad, just like they said seller sent me a longer cable for the iPad pro and it fits perfectly. Regular iPad can use cables that came with the box. It's pretty weighted and sturdy, two heavy items at the back and the plastic dividers stay put, and so did the unit. A+ product highly recommended
This is an absolute must if you need to charge multiple devices. My kids have school iPads and they also have iPhones. This product has really been a great solution for our needs.Thx for a durable product.
We no longer have to search for a charger that one of the kids absconded with. Now this charging station is in a centralized location where everyone spends most of their time. Therefore, everyone plugs their phones in and watch TV, cook/eat dinner or do homework.
If they receive a call they can still get up and check their phone without unplugging it unless they want to. what a great idea
This product was a great design...until it stopped working after one month. There is a problem with the power supply and nothing charges. Not worth the money and hassle if it only works for a few weeks.
After contacting the seller, the item was quickly replaced with no hassle. The new charging station works wonderfully and we are very happy with it. Excellent customer service!
