Well built
Would RecommendWell built plug. Pay attention to the strip lengths in the instructions. I needed to remove the removable cord grommet to fit the cable I am using.

Find it on your own
Would Not RecommendFair quality for the price not a lot of room to get the cables into the clamps but they do hold good, no one in the store can find this or answer any questions about it, so you are on your own

Not enough room internally
Would Not RecommendThere is not enough room inside to safely connect the 6 & 8 gauge 4 wire range cord.

Cheap low quality plug
Would Not RecommendIt is small and fingers of your hand touch live brass blades. Inside plug screws almost touch each other and wire insulation rubs on the other brass terminals and could short out if it wears thru.

Difficult to wire
Would RecommendThe plug is small so it is difficult to work with large wires but once you get it together it is fine.

Burned up and damaged my Tesla HPWC
Would Not RecommendWiring this plug with #8 wire was PAINFUL. After all that work to get it properly wired, I expected a long life. The plug worked for 3 years. Then out of the blue, it burned up one of the leads. Damaged my Tesla High Power Wall unit
Prongs are a little tight to get in
Would RecommendCompared to another similar plug that I had gotten this one was kinda hard to get the plug prongs into the plastic holder. Overall it seems to be a good size for the gauge of wire I needed to use (6 gauge) and I was able to get it screwed together.

It works, but poor design
Would Not Recommendto not like how this plug wires up. you have to get a little creative w/ the ground wire to keep it from shorting/arcing with the other terminals. It does work but I could see with vibration it may shout out again.

Why is this thing on the market?? Terminals are way too close. They will short together if wired aren't carefully routed
