The Essentials: When it comes to bulky plugs, rotating sockets help out

Outlet solution When it comes to bulky plugs, rotating sockets really help out

Kimberly Gerard found herself annoyed by a common problem. She had two cell phones, but she couldn’t fit both of their bulky plugs into the only readily accessible outlet in her office.

So she and a friend came up with a solution: an outlet with two sockets that rotate 360 degrees.

The 360 Electrical outlet lets you PLUG-IN one device and then turn it to make room for another PLUG-IN the same outlet. It comes in four colors: white, ivory, almond and black.

The outlets are available at Harbor Freight Tools USA stores, and they can be ordered from online retailers listed on the Web site, http://www.360electrical.com. Suggested retail price is $10.
