poor mount design

As others have said, getting a tight connection with the wall outlet is impossible. The black 3/4" plastic pin on the back is ridiculous and SHOULD have been designed as an anchor screw that simply can be tightened from the front of the unit. Another thing, the "instructions" don't have anything at all to do with the Swivel 6. They're for some other surge protection units. I don't get it :-\
The instructions were only for complicated connections. Nothing explained how to plug this into the wall. It seems like a simple thing, but when I opened it and saw only one set of 3 prongs and a "plastic" pin to plug into my 2 plug outlet I had to search the internet to see what to do. This was not a good fit for my old outlet. It wouldn't stay close and seemed to lean out from the wall. There was no center screw in the unit to attach to the wall outlet and I couldn't get the grounded light to stay on. Please this works best with very new outlets that are flat.
Perfect for power cable management of wall mount TV

I had a total of 5 power plugs along with cables to manage. Contractor place a double three prong plug outlet which would accommodate just two power plugs. Plug an play the Swivel 6 and had each string orientated so the plugs ran "flat" against wall. Sits securely against the wall. I ordered 3 of these, one for the TV wall mount, son's room and my computer and peripheals.
Extra cords create an unnecessary hazard in our house with our pets, so I was happy to find a great deal on a plug in swivel outlet surge protector. Protection level is very impressive, especially for the price! Thanks!
