(Actually it is a 6-socket box with surge protection,
and they only seem to come with 2 metre leads.)

The bolts or screws holding the box together
seem to be of a special type that cannot be turned
with a normal screwdriver.
Is there any way of opening these boxes
short of drilling out these screws?


It might not be much use if you do. I opened 3 recently before I found
1 I could rewire - the others were crimped - and a brass crimp rated to
13A isn't easy to prise open!
