Review on πŸ”Œ UL Listed Cable Matters 2-Pack 3-Outlet Grounded Swivel Wall Tap - 180 Degree Swivel, Swivel Outlet, 3 Plug Outlet Adapter by Raul Choudhury

Revainrating 3 out of 5

ATTENTION with the size of this socket! It is EXTREMELY difficult to attach 3 items to it!

I like the IDEA of this product more than the product itself. Being able to move it up and down is great! This is VERY useful in restricted access environments. I have one next to my bedside table that used to hit the drawer when I rotated it to the lowest position and now the drawer opens with no problem. I have another one behind the sofa and it was impossible to plug anything in due to the cramped space, but crank it up and now I have ALL the space I need. So why only 3 stars? Actually I only wanted to give 2 stars, but I gave 3 because of the rotating possibility. The bad news is that while it offers 3 outlets, the design is VERY BAD as most devices that require a grounding plug (3rd pin) tend to be slightly larger than a device that only has 2 pins. So it turns out that you ONLY have 2 of the 3 outlets here due to the VERY small distance between the outlets. You can't connect 3 devices to this thing at the same time because they won't fit. The only way I've found is if all 3 elements connected have only 2 pins. In this case you would buy a much cheaper model with 3 outputs for 2 pin devices. BIG difference in price. This company needs to resize everything and leave some space between the stubs. This item gets 5 stars from me! You'd better measure the items you want to connect with it BEFORE you buy it. I am attaching some photos to see and help you decide if this item is right for you. As you can see, when trying to connect a third device, there is NO way to plug it in, not even by force! I will not do it. The device appears to be of good quality and works well for me except for the size. So if it fits your sizing needs it's a very affordable option compared to the competition, otherwise you might find it a bit wider.
