Every now and then you run across an new gadget idea that strikes you and you say “why didn’t I think of that?” In fact, we find these great ideas and new gadget innovations every day. And we really have a lot of fun here at Mint Gadgets bringing you these great gadget ideas.
Today, we have one of these great ideas which you are sure to love. The Pivot Power Power Strip solves one of the most common problems we’ve all encountered trying to fit all the gadgets we have to plugin to our power strips.
So what’s so brilliant about the Pivot Power Power Strip?
Think about it this way. You know the normal long rectangular power strips we’re all familiar with? Have you ever felt that annoying and frustrating feeling when you’re trying to fit two large power adapters right next to each other and they can’t fit because there’s not enough room? Isn’t that the most irritating sensation? You usually end up with one or more free sockets on the power strip which you can’t use unless you can find a tiny adapter to fit in the unused slot. Well, you will probably squeal with delight at the Pivot Power Power Strip. Because of its circular design and rotating power sockets, it’s able to fit all forms, shapes and sizes of adapters.
They call it “just pivot and fit it“. Finally, someone has solved the “my big over-sized power adapter won’t fit in the power strip” problem!
Due to the fact that the Pivot Power Power Strip is shaped like a semi circle, you’ll be able to fit it into hard to reach places like around furniture. That is definitely something that you couldn’t do before with the inflexible rectangular block shaped power strips. If you think that the Pivot Power Power Strip is just an interesting looking power strip, think again because it also has the ability to stretch for a long reach. Its cord has a length of 6 feet so you can basically place it anywhere even if it’s far away from the main electricity source.
Am I right, don’t you love this gadget? I think it has to be one of the best inventions we’ve come across recently. And it’s a rather simple idea, it turns out many of the best inventions are actually simple ideas! Here at Mint Gadgets, the Pivot Power Power Strip definitely qualifies as “hey, why didn’t we think of that?”.
