Fix power wire that easily comes out of the plug

Material:

1. 1 inch wide velcro

2. 1/2" nails and hammer , or staple gun (with staples, of course!)


Steps:

  1. Cut some 7-10 cm of velcro.
  2. Take the rough part (the one that doesn't have the soft hair) and hold it on the same surface where the plug is, nearby it.
  3. Fix the velcro section to the surface using the nails (or the staples).
  4. Fix the other part of the velcro (the one with the soft hair) on the first part, and put nails/staples over it.
  5. Pass the wire between the two parts of the velcro, and close it fully.

That's it, now the wire won't move and will not come out of the plug.

I did this because in the study room which we have at the Study Center, there are two study tables (too much "study" in this sentence, sorry), which have four table lamps. The lamps are connected to a mini-network of the tables. At first, the plugs were new and wouldn't come out of their place, after 8 years they have become loose and any slight touch would take them out of their place.
