You know how when you enter your great-aunt Mathilde's 60-year-old house and stick the charger in her tiny spare room (which used to belong to your cousin Pete), and instead of doing something useful, you know how to stay , does your fork fall out of the wall? This is because the socket is old and the small pieces of metal inside that hold the plug in place have loosened with time and use. The product does the same, right out of the box. There is no excuse for that. Plug your charger or your lamp or your dad's drill or whatever into the working end of this cord (the three hole part, right? Not the part that goes into the wall, that's fine) and it FALLS DIRECTLY OUT OF HERE. Defect I think. It happens I think. Raven replaced him. The same thing. This product is finished I think. Went to Home Depot. I paid another 3β¬. Works like a champ.
