I'd like to replace them with those big fat meaty ones like those you see in
a hospital.

Googling, they're pretty expensive at $20 to $40 each!

Lowes has not as good ones for $5 to $7 each:

Just curious if I can get the hospital grade plugs at about the Lowes price?

Any suggestions?




Probably better to replace the whole cord but if you do replace either
the plug or receptacle do not cheap out.

I used such things on my job. Since I retired a few years ago I forgot
which brand names are which but those black and white ones will last
for years. The yellow ones can melt.
