Octopus Power Strips

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Octo Outlet Has Retractable Socket Tentacles as Convenient Electric Links

— October 23, 2013 — Tech

The four-limbed device has one end equipped with a wall plug and three other retractable tips armed with separate power points. What you do is pull these outlets out of their tubular containers and coiled cables will unravel to give you valuable length.
