360 Electrical Rotating Outlets & Power Strips: Power from All Angles

Like the Pivot Power, 360 Electrical’s products allow you to cram in electrical plugs and adapters that would otherwise not fit in one outlet or power strip. But unlike Quirky’s power strip where the whole body is adjustable, 360 Electrical’s products have sockets that rotate in place.

I’m not sure how the sockets work, but according to 360 Electrical’s website,“internal premium copper-to-copper contacts provide unlimited 360 degree rotation and continuous power even during rotation.”
