It swivels.
A six-outlet surge protector that snuggles up to the wall like this is a remarkable design to begin with. It keeps your outlets up off the ground so you don’t have a tangled mess of dusty plugs and cords.
Plus they largely limit how much trouble you can get yourself into by plugging in too many things. Yes, it blocks two sockets but should you really be plugging any more than six things into one outlet anyway?
The only downside is that all those cords will need to plug in pretty much exactly where your outlet already is. And while sometimes that’s fine, other times it would be super helpful if, for example, a handful of those outlets could swivel a little bit to help peek around a piece of furniture or accommodate an awkward cord that sticks out to one side and runs into the wall.
Can you see where we’re going with this?
Today’s deal is a pair of six-outlet surge protectors that have this cool feature where half of them swivel. You get all the usual advantages of this kind of thing—including 900 joules of surge protection—but the money feature is really the bit that swings back and forth.
So get yourself a pair of these for less than fifteen bucks and conquer that one outlet situation you’ve been struggling with, once and for all.
Besides, if this isn’t a problem you’ve run into so far, you definitely will at some point. It’s only a matter of time.
