We used "safeblocks" in the same situation.
basically three crock clips and a lid.

But plus a 'funny red thing' in the bottom right of the lid.

Once upon a time, as I've probably mentioned before, one of the
less practical design engineers was working in the electronics
lab. On enquiring if there were any spare 13 A plugs for his
soldering iron, he was pointed towards the SafeBloc. Some time
later it was noticed that the SafeBloc was still on the bench,
but it no longer had its plug!

If I had asked if there were any spare plug tops and had been pointed at
a piece of equipment I would have taken the plug off too, especially a
SafeBloc. Have they made the cord grip work properly in the last decade
or two?

I dont remember them having anything resembling a cordgrip

Not much use for powering a moving bit of kit then.

Sure they were. I was never a fan of safeblocks though, preferred BS372 Clix plugs.
