do the individual sockets pivot on their positions? it appears in the demo pic they are oriented in different directions. thanks

It can be strait in a line and then you can pivot the last one, then the next if you would like, then eventually all if you want it in a circle.

No they don't. Each plug segment of the power strip is articulated so it may be bent in different directions to allow variable orientations.

Yes, they are in reverse of each other but the polarity remains the same. Also the polarity is clearly marked. I would also recommend a swaging tool that mounts in a vise and also sold by Amazon. The tool provides the proper amount of squeezing.

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.

Mine did not pivot left to right. Sadly I had to return mine- the solder was defective at both ends of the horizontal arm and at the top of the head. I wound up picking up an almost identical one (with a water filter cartidge) at a local home improvement store (i can't remember if it was Lowes or Home Depot)for just over $50.

Just as viewed, when plugged in they stand up straight. Did that answer your question. Good Luck.

I've got a lot of experience with loose outlet sockets. I just very gently twist each plug bar in opposite directions, so they are no longer parallel. It increases the pressure of the plug bar against the metal sides inside the plug so the higher friction holds it tighter in place. Don't twist too hard or you will break off the plug bar - just hard enough to put a slight twist in the bar.

On the Belkin package on the front it says "360 (degrees) rotating plug"...and it is, which is fantastic flexibility anywhere you want to plug it in! Mine all rotate just fine!

Yes. The sockets are just SMA bulkheads that go through a 1/4 inch round hole in the bracket and are held on with a nut. Easily removed. On the one that I bought, the nuts were quite loose and needed to be tightened.

It should be either direction. There are NO arrows or indicators. When connecting mine, I picked a random end.

I'd love to respond but am not sure what you mean by the box socket; the only angle I notice on mine is on the stem that seems to be part of the one piece handlebar.

Yes, the socket turns flush to wall. There are three places to plugs in your appliances, etc. However, the socket turns to the side as one. In other words you can have one pointing straight and one to the side. It turns as one piece. If both sides of the surge protector are turned, it looks like there are no sockets.

Yes, they stay firmly in place. I have a cube mounted under my desk and one of my plugs (with 3 prongs) is in totally upside down and it is staying in there just fine.

Yes, they wiggle a little. It doesn't impact their function, this is probably a tradeoff with their design which allows them to fit in the tools. I recently was able to remove tiny torx screws in the field without having to get my full tool case. The convince is definitely worth it. Due to the nature of the tool you would not use these for anything requiring a lot of torque anyway, so a little wobble (side to side) is fine. I love mine. Since getting mine my tool case has stayed in my truck and I fixed a water heater (thermostat), desktop computers, notebook computers, light switches, projector. It's great to show up with just my backpack and fix almost anything without carrying 60 pounds of tools. Haven't come across a screw yet that the set didn't fit perfectly.

They are fixed. They DO angle out somewhat, mainly to accommodate a decent size bulb, but they can't swivel around or spread out. Each socket can handle up to 45 watts (fluorescent bulbs only), which is the equivalent of 200 watts in the incandescent world. Still, I have three of these in my basement and I love them.

Hi Bargain Fairy,The plugs turn flat and turn 90 dgrees to flat against the wall. The photo shows the outward initial "default" position and a 45 degree turned position to make view of the turning part of the plug visible. All the best, and they are great!

yes, but they fall out of the sockets. I returned my unit because it was so slimsy and kept falling apart.

No problems at all. The different heads just click into place. Just push em in at an angle.
