Pigtail Safety Shim
Product ID: 528897714
Holds Plugs Firmly. No Wobble Ensuring Lights Stay On. Protects from the Elements of the Road (Salt Road Grime etc.). Maximizing Life of Plug and Receptacle while Saving Time and Money. The Ultimate Benefit for All is Safety. Made In the USA. Use with; Pig Tail Shims Semi's RV's and Most Types of Trailers. 2 per Pack Review: Must have for any frequent drop & hooks - I run local, pulling containers. Often times I hook a chassis just to find out the electrical barrel on that chassis is so worn out that I need to jam something underneath to keep the lights working properly. Previously I used a zip tie that I cut up, and would stick a couple of them under the pigtail. With this, I can just have it on the pigtail at all times. It slides back enough that if I don't actually need to use it, I can still plug in my electrical line normally. If the connector is loose (like most of them are on DCLI chassis), I plug in my electrical and slide this wedge forward on the pigtail. 9/10 times it works right away. The times it doesn't, I just have to move this wedge around the pigtail and my lights will work properly. If you do a lot of drop & hooks, especially if you pull containers, these wedges are a must-have. Review: No more bad 7 way plug connections - Good quality plastic.

Work amazing
I drive LTL doubles so I'm constantly hooking and dropping. These shims are a life saver on trucks & trailers with worn power connectors. When this trick isn't enough use Noalox paste in the holes of your power cord and you'll be good to go 95% of the time.

These are becoming harder to find at truck stops, but these are a necessary item that all truck drivers need to have on them for trailers
