As someone who’s more than well-versed when it comes to shopping on Amazon, browsing through the “secret section” has a bit of a learning curve to it. There are some insane bargains and steals to be found, but plenty of them lack reviews — how do you know if you’re wasting your money until it’s too late?
Answer: you just let me do all the work for you. That’s right — I’ve sat here for the past few hours digging through all the items in Amazon’s secret section, just so you only have to look at the cream of the crop. Are my eyes bleeding? Yes. But that’s more than worth it when it means I’m able to bring you ultra-cheap silicone tongs, USB hub splitters, and other fun deals you can’t buy in stores.
…On second thought? Maybe I need another hobby. So until I figure that out, make sure to take a look at these 37 brilliant products from Amazon’s secret section.
The Hub Splitter That Adds 4 USB Ports To Your Computer
If your computer only has a couple USB ports, give it four more with this hub splitter. Each USB port has a corresponding switch that turns it on and off so that you don’t have to unplug your devices, and they support data transfer speeds up to 5 gigabytes per second. Besides, it’s only $10 — if that’s the price you have to pay for convenience, then it’s definitely more than worth the money.

Many reviewers wrote about how it’s easy to use, with one even writing about how it cost less than a trip to the jeweler.
