Review on πŸ”Œ Leviton 5266-CA Industrial Grade Angle Plug: 15A, 125V, Straight Blade, Grounding in Black-White by Dwight Tim

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Well made and adjustable tooth direction!

Very well made. I got this plug for an extension cord that I plugged into a ceiling outlet. I wanted a 90 degree angle so the cord would run across the ceiling like a straight plug without a hanging loop. A big plus of this plug is that the pin part can be rotated 180 degrees (unassembled) so you can change the direction you want it to be installed in the socket. This prevents interference from other devices that you have plugged into the outlet or if your outlet is too close to another wall. I connected it to a 12 gauge 3-wire electrical extension cord. The cable clamp on the plug has no insert for large or small wires. It's basically a one-size-fits-all for some cables. No more than 12 gauge cable is needed, however, and the 12 gauge really pushes it onto this fork. I downgraded it one star for the lack of an adjustable cable clamp. Leviton does this for most of its other plugs, but not this one.

Pros
  • Trial period for one year
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
