Maybe some dilectric grease on the prongs, but you really want the connection tight. If it's loose you run the risk of arcing and resistance heat buildup and possible plug failure, i.e. melting.

So time to hit the gym and build up those pecs. :)

fj12ryder, I'm an old guy, more mature(73) but not weak. I have old mans' skin and it isn't pretty when wearìng a muscle shirt.:B I was still pushing weights but my shoulder screwed up and I'm awaiting an MRI. I guess a screw driver with hydro( a Canadian thing) shut off. Mex, I`m going to check on the dielectric grease when I finish up here. I don`t have handles so that's out. Thanks everybody...maybe I`ll hire a young guy to pull them apart.:R Stay safe all. Bob

That only puts you 3 years older than me. LOL I was going to recommend the screwdriver usage too, but it's scary thinking about what can happen if you unthinkingly use the screwdriver before unplugging from power. I've used a screwdriver when my plugs semi-welded themselves together when my EMS gave up the ghost and shorted out. But the idea made me very nervous even though I knew it was unplugged at both ends.
