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

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.

Short answer - yes. When using this particular connector, make sure, as you tighten the sleeve while threading it, check to be sure you have seated the plug on the socket. There are points on each one and they need to nest. Very important - with temperature changes, this connector can come loose if you just finger tighten it. After you do this - ALWAYS take a pair of slip joint pliers and apply a LITTLE torque to bind the threads. Just enough to cinch things. You will be glad you did this. Make this a habit and avoid heartaches with blown finals from intermittent loss of ground on the output of your radio. Short answer - yes.

I have not had this problem. It is firm, but when you squeeze the side "clips" tightly, it comes out fine on mine. I would make sure that both the plug & socket are clean, and then perhaps try a very light coat of lubricant that is safe for plastics (silicone or similar) on the exterior of the plug only, on the sides where it contacts the socket. That should help. You could try to contact WORX and see what they recommend. And if little adjustments that you try don't work, then it is obviously defective and should be replaced- it was meant to come in and out without major effort.

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.

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.

Inside the handle on the side where the orange button is. Just look at the plug and the receptacle and the alignment will be obvious. After

Well mine fits tight, the transformer is insanely large and heavy making the whole thing less portable. But as for the plug, there is a strong connection, nothing loose at all.

One more thing I'd suggest to the manufacturer: put a swivel connection on the cord somewhere so it doesn't twist with use.

It is probably not screwing down all the way, due to the bulky ceramic base; mine didn't either. I purchased a simple extender so it fits better in the socket. Mine does stick up out of the top of the torchiere, but it is hardly noticeable. GL

the plug is on the top half. On the bottom half is a plastic "peg" which is designed to go into the third leg of a 3 prong socket. If your wall socket is single you could break off the peg. The peg does, however act as a balance for the item.

Took some patience, dexterity, and more force than seemed necessary, but the plug will go in, and the retaining clips will seat. It's a little frustrating, but keep trying, and good luck! BTW, my headlamps are still working well and looking good.

Just hard enough to keep the socket on there. It works perfectly with my 1/2" Craftsman impact sockets. I highly recommend it.

It is a skinny flat divided plug. Goes in pretty tight. I don't think a concern but if you've had issues with such plugs I'd be careful.

If it doesn't fit one way turn it the other way, I broke mine by trying to plug it the wrong way. I did use it for a couple of months and I really liked it. I'm going to have to get me another one.

...yes, the USB socket is "wobbly" on my unit as well, moving up/down by perhaps as much as 5 degrees. This has not appeared to affect the functionality at this point.

If that's what you want then this is definitely not for you. The socket is totally fixed with no hope of rotation. It's a great product, just not flexible.
