ABSTRACT:
A hand-held electrical device having a power cord that provides enhanced retainment of the power cord to a receptacle of the hand-held electrical device during operation of the hand-held electrical device. The power cord includes an enlarged tip portion that provides axial resistance against removal of the power cord from the receptacle of the hand-held electrical device when the power cord is operatively coupled to receptacle of the hand-held electrical device. The axial resistance provided by the enlarged tip portion increases the force necessary to remove the power cord from the receptacle of the hand-held electrical device, and thus decreases the likelihood of the power cord being inadvertently detached from the hand-held electrical device during operation of the hand-held electrical device.
