Problem with wall charger

Has anyone got any tips for me on the best way to get the end
of the charging cable to seat and stay within the plastic
holder housing? I find that it takes a lot of messing about with the thick cable to get just the right position for the assembly to stay together...

I use one of these --> Geckos Toes Air Gecko Air Hose Rack - Air Tool Hose Reels - Amazon.com

Works great. The cable fits nicely, though I am using the UMC, not the HPWC. Cable is the same size though, as far as I know.

I don't use it - I just coil the cable over the supplied holder and let it hang (like the yellow hose above).

As to the original question, I’m with you. I got one of those official HPWC hangers to hang my UMC cable over, and it just doesn’t want to stay on that little tab in that slot. If it’s twisted just slightly, (which it almost always is) it wants to fall off. I just loop it over the top.
