Powerstrip for Your Car

by Terrence O'Brien, posted Apr 17th 2007 at 5:02PM

If you read this site, there's a pretty good chance that you have lots of shiny electronic toys. There's also a good chance that you need to charge your gadgets on the go. Enter the Coleman Headrest Powerworks, a one or two outlet power inverter that plugs into your cigarette lighter and turns your car's DC to AC with standard plugs, so you can use your existing power cords to get juice. Like any other power strip, all the outlets are grounded. What's more, this one comes with Velcro straps to hook it over your car's headrest.

We must agree with BookofJoe, however. Why not just build regular outlets into the car to begin with?
