• Rugged, safety-focused design: Built to handle daily use in busy spaces, the Power It! strip emphasizes durability and reliability. The design helps guard against wear from frequent plugging and unplugging, while keeping outlets recessed to minimize accidental contact and debris intrusion. It’s an essential addition for organized power distribution in workshops, offices, and study corners.
