Getting water on your power strip is a lot like that classic demonstration of electrical current flow:  tossing a toaster in the tub (ZZZZZZap!).  Or so it was until the Wet Circuits folks got to work.  ”Why should stuff fritz out just because it got wet?” they asked themselves (apparently).  And their answer is their new water-proof power strip.  Available now for an MSRP of $35.  Because after all, you don’t want to be the one in the tub, right?

Full information below.

Can you believe it? Holding a metal tweezer and sticking it into an outlet of a power strip while water is pouring over your hand and the whole power strip without getting shocked and all your electrical appliances are still operating? Wet Circuits is the first consumer power strip that is water resistant. It is also designed so that even if sticking metal objects (or tiny fingers) into the outlet is safe from being shocked. The power strip is safe from accidentally spilling water or coffee onto the strip. The strip works in rain and snow. In case of a flood, the strip can even work under water (although not recommended and will shorten the product’s life span due to the mineral buildup). It’s safer for kids who like to explore and stick things into holes. It’s safer for pets that like to lick things. It’s safer for appliances for short circuiting in case of a water accident.
