Will socket/swivel hold plug in proper alignment when applying fair amount of force to crack it loose? AUniv joint gets off center & you can snap plug

I did not require any swivel so my u joint was vertical (2006 toyota corolla). My plugs were locked up but did require quite a bit of force to break free

I had no problem with alignment loosening or tightening. My heads are aluminum and do not require high amount of torque. This is a good quality product and with magnetic holder, keeps plug aligned in the socket.

Yes, to loose it, you might need a lot of force if you didn't apply anti-seize when you installed them. I did mine with ease. This Socket also come with magnet so it hold the spark plug when you take and put them back down. Remember when you install the spark plug back, just use this socket and your hand to manually and slowly alignment it in place and start tighten it with your hand too. then attach your wrench to this socket and tighten it with really little force. Hope this helps.

Yes it will do the absolute best job. I have a 1989 Chevy Caprice Brougham oh my gosh a nightmare to take off the spark plugs. But I decided to buy this swivel socket it has a magnet inside of it which will hold your spark plugs in place also it doesn't swivel loosely so your not arm exhausted. I personally recommend this purchase it's a investment in time and mental stability. I digress but your going to love this tool.

It doesn't swivel. Using the bottom plug will cause it to cover the top plug. You can turn this unit upside down and use the top plug and it will not cover the bottom plug.

shouldn't have a problem at all. I do need to tighten mine often while using it, especially if I flip it up often

It may seem like it is locked in place, but once mounted it will swivel quite well......it needs to be broken in so to say....mine was tight but now it is fine....well worth the price. If this is not the case and yours is defective, just return it....but I think you will be fine once you have it installed and begin using it. GC

The socket has a rubber insert. It's tight enough to hold the plug when held vertically, but you do not have to struggle to remove the plug from the socket when desired.

It doesn't snap in place, but it is held by the two screw like things on the sides. It should be pretty secure. Yours might be defective.

The plug itself does not swivel. The only part that turns is the silver arm. It allows you to turn the item you hang from it to cover the light bulb from almost any viewing from the front.

I don't think a swivel socket will work. The bulb fits tightly within the diameter of the can. The socket would have to lower the bulb almost the entire length of the can to allow any flexibility (because the bulb is bulky).

I just ordered the strip and should get it Thursday. I will let you know then. I have a feeling it is not a right angle plug though.

I have to tie the end of the cord around the handles of my yard power tools so with all the twisting the cord does kink near the female receiptacle end. Also, never use your cocked elbow as a form to wrap the cord when winding it up to stow. Cords have memories and will maintain these bends. These contribute to kinking. Despite not using this winding method, I notice that unless I entend the cord out. it still has a tendency to twist a bit if not kink

Bill,Try shocking the plug ~ basically, tap with force on the plug face with a hammer a few times...not too hard as to damage anything. Most manufactures use a lock tight sealant that gets tighter after time during in-box storage...good luck, you'll get it.

Yes, it is normal. It's not screwed in. It's held in with clips and 2 "o" rings. This allows it to swivel and nothing will unscrew.

Yes, sockets may fall out if holder is shaken lightly. If holder was mounted on a wall surface securely, that wouldn't be an issue. Magnets seem strong enough to hold sockets when mounted vertically.

SOLUTION - Yes, I had the exact same problem The solution is simple. Wrap a small rubber band around the bottom of the arm where it fits into the base. When you screw on the black threaded arm holder, the seal is nice and tight... so absolutely no wobble, but it still allows the lamp to rotate smoothly.

The plug is held in place in the drain hole by the expanded rubber boot around the foot. Usually the aging plug shows hardened rubber that will crack eventually and the plug no longer works. I don't know what holds the plug in place that you refer to in your email. My gut feel is that lightly tapping some wedge, such as a screwdriver, between the donut washer and the plug top to loosen it. Theoretically nothing is holding the plug in place unless it was forced down thereby expanding the boot and that is all that holds it in place. Give it a tap and see what happens.

I've had the ball/socket come loose after rotating from landscape to portrait a number of times. I've been able to re-tighten it on the back side of the mount with a flathead screwdriver, coin, or standard house key. I did have to take it out of the CD player, as it is much easier to be facing the back side than try to mess with it in a limited space. Hope this helps.
