Those 13A fitting 'Mains test plugs' .. are there good one and bad
ones (generally) or are they all basically as 'good' (bad?) as each
other?


Eg, you can get one on Maplin for £3.99 yet I'm sure I've seen them in
my local electrical shop for £16+?


The basic ones are just neons and give an indication of wrong connection.
But more sophisticated ones exist which do other tests.
