My Seasonic power cable, as its close to the wall, is easily knocked. Found these. Anyone used them? Look good.

Yep they're good! Worth getting one.

Do you use them on everything?

Used them quite a few times in work, never had an issue with them.

I'd get a 90 degree cable, should solve your problem.

The trouble with something that locks, you end up breaking the device instead of the cable coming out.

Thanks so much for the tip Bledd by bringing those to my attention. I can see myself using a combination depending on the approach.

These are quite cool as well as a middle ground

You can buy them without UK plugs on the end from CPC for pennies
