This outlet strip has to go down to the "why the heck didn't somebody make one of these before" category. The strip is simple and effective. The old solution was to space the outlets farther apart to accommodate wall warts.
This is sort of your normal every day outlet strip with six outlets. There is a nice white on off button beside the power cord. When turned on, the area around the button glows blue. The electrical cord is about six feet long and heavy duty. The electrical plug is one of those round flat plugs that is canted about 45 degrees, so when plugged in the wall the wire is on an angle pointing up the wall (no idea why the heck they do that, its annoying). The whole thing has a good heft to it. That's the normal every day part.
The cool part, this thing swivels. Each outlet has a rotator around it. There's one good thing, you can circle the wagons and have it wrap around a table leg. But that's not really the reason for the rotating (I've never needed to wrap my outlet strip around a table leg). The reason for the rotator is wall warts, those nasty AC adapters that take up two or three outlets on a power strip. With this little strip, it is possible to plug in six multi-outlet eating wall warts. Simply plug one wall wart in, and twist until it is out of the way of the adjacent outlet. Keep doing that for all the wall warts.
There is a limit for some wall warts. There are those big honking ones that actually take up three outlets, those really wide ones. Those can be twisted to only cover two outlets. Still not a bad deal.
The construction is decent. The plastic appears to be sturdy. 670 Joule surge protection is not massive, but still not bad. It does not have a UL approval. There is an ETL certification that apparently tests products to the UL standards. The product is stamped with 15A 110V AC capacity.
Overall, a good product that solves the problem of what to do with a zillion wall warts.
Quirky is a sort of social networking product development company. I found this outlet strip through an article in Engadget over a year ago. I preordered the outlet then, figuring it would arrive soon (the Quirky site said it was already going to the production phase). Well it took almost a year for them to ship these. I own three of them. I like the design and the functionality. If you like to watch products go from a rough idea sketch to a real live shipping product and want to influence that development, Quirky is a fun place. I have absolutely no financial interest in Quirky, nor do I work there. It's simply an interesting social networking experiment.

I cannot tell you how much I love this product! The two bulky surge protectors I needed under my desk to keep all of those big boxy plugs plugged in at the same time are gone. I love the LED light on the on/off switch. You can easily find it to shut everything down. And, for such a functional item, it's very cool looking. Everyone who sees it wants one.
Bought one for my desk, and one for my living room, and two for graduation gifts. This is the "it" product of the year!

Not a whole lot to say about this, other than that it works very well. I love how adjustable it is, and it looks cool, too. It fit my needs perfectly. And I think it's a good value for the price.

Awesome little sucker
Very cool, very efficient, and just as described. If you deal with large plug in charging cables, then you'll want to get a strip that will be able to hold them all. Read more

Pivot Power works great for the conference room. It wraps around the pop-up power plug in the middle of our conference room table.
