The [Pivot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bower-studios-pivot-fountain-limited-edition) Power Rugged -- like its other Pivot Power products -- provides additional plugs and the flexibility to arrange them your way. What's different about this beefier Quirky-made power bar is that it's been designed specifically with the workshop in mind. A thick polycarbonate body can withstand being dropped and stepped on; a substantial round hub doubles as a handle and a hole for hanging. Its extension cord can be quickly wrapped up to eliminate [loose cable](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cable-managements) and to keep a construction site tidy. The Pivot Power Rugged swivels out into two [flexible arms to send sockets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flexible-charge-adapter) where you need them. The product has been manufactured in black and yellow to match the power tools that rely on it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Increasing Demand for Power Solutions:** The growing number of electronic devices and higher demands on power sockets create opportunities for innovative power strip designs. - **Rugged and Durable Power Products:** There is a market for power strips specifically designed for workshops and construction sites that can withstand drops and heavy usage. - **Flexible and Customizable Power Solutions:** Consumers are seeking power strips with adjustable layouts and swiveling sockets to meet their specific needs and preferences. ### Who This Affects Most - **Electronics:** The electronics industry can capitalize on the increasing demand for power solutions by developing innovative power strip designs. - **Construction and Engineering:** The construction and engineering industries have an opportunity to provide rugged and durable power strip solutions designed for use in workshops and construction sites. - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry can offer flexible and customizable power solutions that seamlessly integrate with various interior setups and accommodate the needs of different spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pencil-Resembling Power Strips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pencil-multitap.md) - [Rotating Outlet Power Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oconnect-onestep.md) - [Chic Technology Power Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/360-electrical-powercurve77.md) - [Artfully Dynamic Power Strips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aunion.md) - [Design-Conscious Power Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/power-strip-concept.md) - [Modular Power Strip Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nodes.md) - [Design-Conscious Extension Cords](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/willow-power-supply.md) - [U-Shaped Power Strip Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/power-strip-2.md) - [Power Station Outlet Adapters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anker-powerextend-usbc-plug.md)
