Well, I kept it. Going through all of them means a few wasted

Your alternative is to buy replacements. You'll experience some serious
sticker shock when you check the price of three phase twist locks. They're
very proud of those suckers.

Harold, why replace them? They are fine, as such, they are simply
dirty and in need of cleaning. What am I missing?


The condition of the contacts. Are they clean, or oxidized & pitted?



They are just fine. The problem is the dust inside.


Why not blow them out?


I still have to open them up. And if so, why blow them, this will ruin
my hair and make a mess. I will just use a brush.
