No Power Tools: The Wings Break

I have 3 of these functional tools at home and will be adding 4 more This version has plastic fenders. ANY use of power tools unless you feel the tension on the wing is not recommended. Even at slow speeds, these clips break. Use a small screwdriver and tighten until there is enough tension to hold it in place, but no more. When mounting to an insulated wall, I recommend pulling out a flat layer to prevent springback, which can cause the wings to overextend. You can smooth this out with caulk foam if you wish, but only after your cables are relatively secure and unmoving. You should also consider buying more than one device in case you break the first one while learning the product. Also unplug the cables before reconnecting them. Too much processing will break it. Remember that you can orient it however you want for optimal cable management. It fits cables with fairly large heads, but anything larger than a standard 3-pin AC head can get a little fiddly.

Pros
  • Made of durable ABS
Cons
