Sock Cop, a Last-Minute Gift That Won't Be Forgotten

TAMPA, Fla., Nov. 23, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Nobody seems to know why they disappear. But this year, perhaps there's no better complement to those new holiday socks than the Sock Cop, a handy clip that prevents them from getting lost during the laundry cycle.

The Sock Cop is the creation of Tampa police officer Rich O'Connor, who after his wife, mother of their family of six, became frustrated with constantly losing socks, began tinkering in the garage and came up with the idea.

"Although his profession had no bearing on the invention of the Sock Cop, it was instrumental in the naming of the product. It basically services as a 'hand-cuff' for socks," says Susan O'Connor, Rich's wife.

"They save time and eliminate the hassle of sorting socks and lost socks. And, since they're also great for keeping gloves and mittens together, we've had customers tell us that Sock Cop is a traditional stocking stuffer in their family," says Rich O'Connor.

Made in the USA, Sock Cop is manufactured using a unique material that is designed to withstand extremely high temperatures - so it's safe to use in the washer and dryer. And, because the Sock Cop has no sharp edges or metal components it won't damage socks.  

Applying the clip is easy. Squeeze open to attach the clip to a pair of socks of any size, from infant to adult socks, then throw into the wash. O'Connor says when the laundry cycle is done, simply keep the clips on the socks and put them away.
