Is there a way to attach this so it does not come loose when I am removing cords?

Thanks.

Yes, replace it with one like third one down that has a screw to hold it
in place

Thanks Ed.

The first step is to wire the box properly. You can't connect a box
with extention cord like that. Buy a proper "power bar" and plug it in
where you have that cord plugged in (you didn't REALLY" hardwire" that
circuit with fleible extention cord, did you????

something like
https://www.uline.ca/Product/Detail/...E&gclsrc=aw.ds
with 12 connections on a 6 foot cord or this one
https://www.infinitecables.com/power...iABEgKsyvD_BwE
with a 15 foot cord

It is not wired with an extension cord, but with properly gauged wire.

Not according to the picture. What you have installed is illegal and
could be unsafe. Definitely not done "to code" Flexible cable is NOT
allowed for permanent installation, and the cable MUST be secured to
the structure within 6 inches of the box, and fastened every 2 frrt or
so to the wall. Also, that kinf of cable needs to be secured to the
box with a proper strain relief bushing listed for use with that
cable.

Agreed it's not Code but it's not likely very unsafe...the biggest
practical thing is there is no strain relief in such a box and there
appears to be sufficient excess length of the cord that it could fairly
easily be a trip/yank waiting to happen...

Then adding the multi-cube on top is just Rube Goldberg in action...

I will attach the cord and provide strain relief.

But there are some here who will complain no matter what.

And adding this.

Indeed, can't expect concurrence with out-of-Code stuff in public forum
whether anybody might do something similar or not on own.

This is one that it seems like a lot of effort required to not just take
the practical solution of getting a manufactured power strip instead.
It would avoid the need for the additional cube eliminating the problem
that the original question raised entirely as well as the unsightly and
highly questionable use of the wall handy box as mobile device.

If distance is the problem, making the modification of replacing
original one with a longer cord would be the neater solution.
