Quirky Pivot Power Surge Protector Bundle (Random-Colored 4-Outlet & 6-Outlet)
- A 1080-joule surge protector that flexes and pivots like a lissom spine
- This lissomness lets you plug in multiple boxy AC adapters
- Also the strip can wrap around furniture and corners and other corporeal objects
- Also it’s coooooool
- It comes in random colors, some of them garish, but that’s part of why you’re getting a deal
- Another reason you’re getting a deal: They’ll ship in a plastic bag instead of retail packaging even though they’re new
- Model: PPVJP-BK01, PPVPP-BK01 (Our guess: “Pivot Power Very Justly [Properly] Powered By Krampus”)

This crowdfunded surge protector enjoys praise from the crowd at Amazon for good reason: It solves the problem of plugging multiple AC adapters into the same strip. It also looks cool and is fun to play with.

Writer @skemmehs here wrapping up my monthlong Nippon adventure from the confines of what would be considered a rather roomy coffin. I’m testing a theory of one Sherlock Holmes:
It is a singular thing, but I find that a concentrated atmosphere helps a concentration of thought. I have not pushed it to the length of getting into a box to think, but that is the logical outcome of my convictions.
And am so far finding this spatial theory specious. Though in his defense Mr. Holmes didn’t do his work on a laptop while trying to recharge his camera battery, Kindle, phone, powerbanks, and bizarre Japanese sex toys with only one outlet. Behold, the horror:
I’m clinging to modern life by that single electron-sluicing thread. So yes, these Quirky Flex surge protectors are superb in myriad ways but are missing the all-important feature of being in my possession right now. Wish I could give them a stronger endorsement, but I don’t want you to write angry forum posts when you find yourselves power-starved and surrounded by snoring salarymen in a 6’x3’x3’ box without one.
On the plus side, you get jammies:
