EASY Way to Mount a Power Strip
Sometimes you never have power where you need it. So, you plug in a power strip and have all the plugs and cords running from it. What a mess!
This video shows step by step the EASY way to mount your power strip keeping your power stip tucked up and out of the way allowing you the ability to quickly plug in and get to work.
Sometimes those keyholes in the back of the power strip supposedly helping you mount your power strip make it nearly impossible to mount ... until now. Follow this painters tape trick to quickly and accurately identify mounting screw placement. This takes the guesswork out of mounting your power strip.

As to why I keep this video up, it is a way to restring your string trimmer; in fact the instructions provided with mine gave this way. Also if the line is tangled inside the spool, you MUST do it this way. Keep me posted.

      @@FieldGuidetoDIY Thanks for the reply. I had thought about using a C clamp and after watching the other video I tried it. No go. It wouldn't stay on and the top part overlaps the lower part so the C clamp is in the way. I tried to get it back into the unlocked position by just using the cap and not including the spring nor the spool. It would not budge. So, I took it back to Home Depot. Two guys at the returns counters spent 10-15 trying as well with no luck. Maybe I just got a bad one. So, it is now gone and I am now with a DeWalt.

Other videos I've watched about using speed squares emphasize that the mark should always be made on the pivot point side - the side with the inch scale - but at 7:10 you're marking along the degree scale side instead, for the 6:12 pitch. Is that the right way to make that mark? What am I missing?

    Unnecessary to take it all apart. You just put it through all the way in as long as the arrows on the yellow part are pointed to the correct arrows on the gray part then it makes a straight line hole all the way through so just feed the string all the way through without taking it apart and then make sure it’s equal on either side and then, just reel it in.
