Getting plugged in













The Conceal Surge Protector is a great way to organize your multiple power cords.

It not only hides the messy cords but it helps protect from dust. This is a great way to stay neat and clean and protect your family and pets.  Other power strips are messy and collect dust, cords get tangled and become unplugged
