Our workbench is always one unexpected project away from complete chaos. So anything that helps us stay tidy and organized usually rockets to the top of our must-have list.

Case in point: This clever workbench power strip/light array from Summit Racing.

For starters, it’s packed with 10 grounded outlets—easily enough for your power tools, battery chargers, diagnostic equipment, and Colecovision. An integrated circuit breaker will ensure you’re not pulling too much juice, either.

Better still, it’s got a pair of 5v USB outlets to feed your phone or tablet. And as an added bonus, it’s got a clever little fold-out tray that can hold your phone as well. (That’s a nice feature if you’re following along with a tutorial video, chatting with tech support, or jamming out to tunes.)

But our favorite part is the built-in LED light arrays that you can fold down to illuminate whatever project just landed on your bench. (If you’re always scrambling around looking for a flashlight, this feature is going to save you a lot of time and hassle.)

The outlets and the lights operate on separate switches, and the whole thing is designed to mount flush against your wall or pegboard. It comes with a four foot cord too, so the power station is pretty much ready to go out of the box.

So if your workshop or garage could use a bit of Feng Shui, this clever workbench power and light station is a good place to start. See pricing and availability here at Summit Racing.
