Hell, you really don't _need_ no stinking plug!
... ask any South o' the Border carpenter on a job site, who will
routinely strip 1" off two leads of an extension cord and stick'em
straight into the female receptacle on the t-pole (or the dryer plug in
the utility room which is usually the first thing powered in new
construction), to power 220/240 equipment.
Floor finishers are really bad about it because most of those big floor
sanders require 220/240, and they never seem to carry adapters.
