RAISE ME UP is a power board designed to enable the user to remove electrical plugs from it easily.

A conventional power board requires the user to place one hand on the power board and use the other hand to pull the plug out. RAISE ME UP makes the pulling of plugs from a power board easier, as the design enables this task to be done with one hand. Each socket point on the power board is designed with a lever, which makes it easier for the user to pull the plug out without having to stoop or use both hands. This lever also covers the power board so that it reduces the possibility of dirt getting in it.
