The PlugGrip is used to assist in the installation and removal of electrical outlets. I found this tool at Lowes and had never heard of it until it caught my eye as I was picking out wall outlets for our remodel. This tool was AMAZING! It must have taken half the time to replace the outlets in the house and the tool even let us know that we'd wired them correctly as the lights lit up when we turned the power back on. I would recommend this tool to anyone who is looking to replace or install new outlets!

This would have prevented at least one minor electrocution in my life...

Remember: (1) Find out if the plug is already live and (2) don't grab both sides of it!
