My understanding is that if a surge protector takes a hit it should be replaced. The manufacturer's warranty, including equipment replacement, dies after a hit. Kind of like a motorcycle helmet. Once a helmet hits the concrete, regardless of how good it looks afterward, it should be replaced. After a hit you'd have no way of knowing if the surge protector could still function.
