Barrel Cord Grip / Strain Relief

Great product!

I like that the grub screw that holds the cord in place becomes totally flush with the outside housing when fully tightened down. I found having a wrench was useful for fully threading it into the socket or plug. I’ll definitely buy more of these.

Must Have

I was converting wall mounted sconces, designed to be hard wired, to wall mounted sconces with your colored cord and switches plugged into an outlet. The project came out great. The barrel cord strain relief pieces worked well in securely linking the cords to the plugs. Great idea for a secure fit and for piece of mind knowing that, if a cord somehow managed to get pulled out of the socket, there would be no chance of pulling the cord out of the plug.

Difficult

Exercise in frustration. Doesn't fit over the color cord very well, pulls the fabric back with it. Tried masking tape as well as several other types. Ultimately had to tape the end of the color covering, some of exposed pvc part and some of the 3 wires to make a "needle" and then peel off the tape once I got the grip in the right place. Also had to use pliers to secure the grip to the plug as I couldn't hand turn it.
