What can you do with 110v 2 wire extension cords?

Use them for double-insulated electric tools and Christmas lights. The
problem with some tools and lights, though is that they may have the
one-blade-larger plugs that won't fit an older two-wire extension
cord. I've noticed that some Christmas light strings have the wider
blade, some don't.

The new plugs will fit the older cords if you grind down the
polarizing plug.

A Dremel tool works swell for this.

So does an ordinary hand file. Voop voop--done.



Diagonal wire cutters are quicker.
