A Power Strip That Lets You Use All The Outlets!

Do you have a lot of electronic devices with those big transformer plugs? You know the deal. You buy a power strip and find you can only use half the outlets because those big power adapter plugs ends up covering 2 or 3 other outlets. Pivot Power comes to the rescue with an easy solution: a flexible power strip that can bend and flex so you can find the most convenient angle to handle those monster transformer plugs. Because there’s a hinge between every outlet on the strip, you have a lot of flexibility of which way to face the plug. Currently it’s available in white and an black. The six foot  heavy duty cord has a flat plug at the end so it takes up less room at the outlet you plug it in. I like the fact that there's a glowing blue ring that lights when there's power in the strip, so you can tell at a glance that's it has power. There’s 672 Joules of surge protection built-in too. $29.99. This is a product from Quirky, the place where people with inventions can get help to market them and share in the profits. The young man who came up with the Pivot Power idea made hundreds of thousands of dollars so far from his invention! It's available online and at stores. I saw it at Bath, Bed & Beyond too.
