Locking mains cable

I recently bought one of these locking IEC leads and it works great with the Helix

No more finding the mains cable kicked out in my little room, I'm sure US versions will be widely available.

I always worry about that sort of thing doing more damage than good, breaking the socket, pulling the unit off/over or slamming it into a wall etc.  I never use the securing screws on PC sockets either, for the same reason, but I'm possibly a bit more clumsy than you.  :)

Well it grips onto the earth pin so I don't see much chance of it damaging the socket but if you're capable of kicking the mains lead hard enough to drag a Helix around then who knows? :-)

 

We use them on all our pole mounted QSC's to counter the effects of gravity and have never had a problem with them.
