One review sstates the socket holds onto the plug "very well". Magnetic? Rubber insert? Snug fit? ??

The socket has a rubber insert. It's tight enough to hold the plug when held vertically, but you do not have to struggle to remove the plug from the socket when desired.

As previously stated, there is a rubber insert that holds the porcelain part of the plug.Thank you and have a great day.

I haven't tried it, but don't see any reason why it should not stay. The plugs I have used in the unit sockets are firmly in place.

Hi John. On my radio I noticed that the plug fit quite snug. There are a couple of raised ribs on the battery side of the plug and a couple of recesses on the radio side. These ribs allow the plug to only fit one way. If you look closely and see the these ribs are lined up then I would suggest firmly pushing the plug together. I hope this helps. Happy listening!! :)

14mm deep socket or 9/16 deep socket also note the socket or plug is not magnetize so use a rubber hose to get plug out it will slip off

It looks to me to be a deep well impact socket. "Impact" sockets tend to be black instead of chrome plated.

yes. No issues so far. It's just like a conventional socket wrench. There is a square bit which 1/2 goes into wrench and other half socket goes over ( this 1/2 has detent ball ). I only wish the case that holds everything were more durable. I know one day I'll step on it and CRUNCH!

I actually tried this a few weeks ago. It wouldn't work even though it fit the socket. Maybe you'll have better luck.

Hello Cindy I am sure if you have 5/8 inch plug size to install and un-install and 6 inches of space in the work area this tool is a must have it has a magnetic socket end that hold your plug in place when installing its nice. Good Luck R Miller.

It locks in. It's like plugging it into charging cord. No way it falls out. Actually it kind of difficult to unplug.

Plus into the socket just fine and works great in the Phoenix area. Haven't had a bit of trouble with mine.

not perfectly.... I had to remove the rubber ring from the plug.... still, if you compare it to the real deal, i would chooses these again. but as I said, NO perfect fit!!

Continuously plugging and unplugging adapters from the wall socket can and will wear out the socket. Have you ever seen some plugs so loose they don't stay in or loose connection when you fiddle with it? There's your answer.

Hi, I unplugged it. I do not think is good idea to keep it in the socket once is fully charged.

...yes, the USB socket is "wobbly" on my unit as well, moving up/down by perhaps as much as 5 degrees. This has not appeared to affect the functionality at this point.

Yes, Jonathan .... but the socket itself is not polarized; that is, it accepts the plug both orientations. So u have to be mindful which side the wider pin should be at when plugging in the plug. Hope tis helps.

You may have a different socket than I. I bought two, both fitted easily into the sockets. I would call the manufacture.

The adapter pushes itself out of my 2001 cadilac, 1999 chevy suburns, and my 1981 searay weekender. Only way the plug stays in a socket is if I use a 12 volt splitter. The tip and side connectors need to be closer together like a usb adapter for the 12 volt sockets. (Walmart has good pics on thier web site of better plug ends)
