Save Time & Headaches

The return on investment of a Socket Blocker is, on average, 50%.This varies based on your labor costs and/or what you value your time at. (We use $15 an hour.) Further, when you have to clean up a mess like the one shown here, or if you have to replace outlets and switches, the ROI is upwards of 1000+%. Once paint gets on an outlet, it really never comes off completely. Socket Blockers prevent that from becoming an issue in the first place!

Paint is a Conductor

Painted outlets/switches and their terminals are a fire hazard. We’re sorry peeps… we do not support fear-based marketing campaigns, but this is real! We actually learned of the fire hazard fact after Socket Blocker production. But turns out,it’s true, and Socket Blockers can help!

  • Packaging

    36% of plastic use comes from packaging consumer goods which is by far the highest sector. Socket Blocker uses 0% plastic in its packaging as the Socket Blockers themselves are the packaging.

  • Rough Goods

    Socket Blocker Is made from recycled Bottles from “PET” material which is a lightweight polyester material. We made sure to use a clear version (most recyclable) of this material and opted for no dyes for branding or pleasing aesthetics. (We still think Socket Blocker Is beautiful!)

  • Clean-Up

    Just remove the Socket Blocker from the wall and you're good to go. Reusable up to five times!

We are often asked about tape. Painters tape is great and valuable on every job site. However, most of these tapes are sprayed with polyacrylates because of their absorption qualities (also used in diapers, paper napkins, etc.). Further, when you consider you may have to spend time and materials on clean up, and worse, replace outlets because of failed tape, the environmental footprint goes through the roof.
