A couple questions on these *&%Xed things.

Is there a brand that's easier to use (plug stuff in) than others?

Is there a tool to break them in a bit?

And this one I was thinking, but dare not ask.....could some diectric grease applied to a plug help to move the shudders more easily?

I still hate em. All of em
Even worse are the outdoor WPIU versions. Here ya go, have a safe outlet and try to get your 12ga 3 prong cord twisted up enough under the cover and slide all 3 prongs in evenly bast the TR feature. Have fun with that. Replaced the ones in my house with normal outlets and flippy covers.
I swear the code writers get together with the manufacturers every spring and have a contest to see who can come up with best way to require more expensive devices in the name of profit. I mean life safety.
Rant over.
