Default odd mains plug

Where do you buy the plugs or distribution boards? All the ones I've
seen have used Commando plugs.



That's a big ask, considering how long I've been retired, but like this

Ah - sorry I was sort of wondering about the non fused 13 amps plugs.
Confusion reigns...

Ours all used standard 13A plugtops, or in the years of madness,
Walsall Guage


Why madness? Apart from cost they are pretty reliable.


The connectors were ok, it was the folks who changed plugtops or made
interconnects so vacuum cleaners, angle grinders, etc, would work on the
super quiet tech mains. And all the legit gear that had standard
connectors so had to be worked round in a Walsall area


You're confusing me again. Surely there was a 'cooking' supply in the area
too?
