I have assembled power poles incorrectly and noticed that they didn't "stick".  
However, when I assemble them correctly, they stick great and like Ken and 
Detrick said, I can drag my K3S around by the power cord.  You have to be 
really careful to assemble them with the correct orientation of the metal 
insert to the plastic case. I crimp the metal insert to the wire - this results 
in a good gas-tight seal with no excess. The insert has to go all the way into 
the housing.  Again, if you assemble them correctly, they work great. If you 
don't assemble them properly, they do not work well at all.  Bob - W3DK
