Cheap and easy desktop electric outlet

Step 3 Making more holes in things.

We have to drill a hole in the box for the electrical cord to go in. I made the hole large enough to accomadate the cord, but snug enough that the cord would not slide around.
Then I theaded the cord into the box.

I have a friend that works with wiring and the slots are either or. If you leave them they act as a cable snag to hold the wires. You can also remove them.

I don't think they're punch-outs - they're like a friction clamp. You push the wire through and it won't come back.

Your correct... They are friction tabs... They keep the wire in place... once it is in there then it is there, not turning back unless you wanna try to get there and not cut the wire trying to release the tension on there.

those squares at the bottom are punch-outs for the wire to run through...
