Review on GE Extension Replacement Appliances 54266 by Amrozi Goodall

For decades I've done my fair share of electrical work, from replacing simple plugs to building computers and wiring an entire house from scratch. The day I used this plug, I installed a new LED neon strip above the stairwell, drilled holes to connect two rooms, hooked up a motion sensor, and installed a ceiling light at the top of the stairs. Almost the same time was needed to connect a lamp with this connector. It took a few tries and both plugs to get a connection working and I ended up wrapping tape around the body of the plug tightly because I wasn't sure it wouldn't open up in the future. It's obvious that the designers of this connector didn't try it on a wide enough range of wires. The first connector successfully pierced the wires but did not close them. The second plug was the opposite. In both cases, after too many tries, the plastic threads proved worthless, allowing the screw to be tightened. I'm sure this will work with soft "speaker" cables, but if you're connecting an existing product, you can't choose which cable you should go with unless you want it from scratch to rewire - in which case I would cut the extension to which the plug is already connected.
