The community-driven Quirky website has already managed to move products like a Space Bar as well as DigiDude camera mountain to market, as well as it’s now offering what may well be the most utilitarian product to date: a Pivot Power strip. That, as you can substantially surmise, is a energy strip which pivots, that lets you block in up to 6 energy adapters or chargers of any distance (within reason). This being Quirky, however, things have been finished a bit differently that your usual tradesman — usually 960 units are accessible for pre-sale right right away, and you can “dedicate” to buying one for $23. If all those are sole, the Pivot Power will go into production, as well as the designers and tip “influencers” will embrace the small commission of any sale. That idea should be easy sufficient to meet in this case, though — some-more than half of the pre-sale slots have already been snapped up as of this essay. Hit up the gallery next for the closer look, as well as head on past a mangle for the video and the finish press release. Pivot Power frame
