I have a garden shredder that I have lost the power lead for. It has
a 3 pin (circular) connector on it, with a lift up flap to insert the
lead. Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement from?

Thanks,

Ian

Sounds like a caravan style mains adapter. Try caravan places.

Thanks,

Ian

Good point.

OP: is it blue and about 1.5" diameter (from memory).

If so, might be a commando 16A industrial single phase 240V plug whcih IIRC
are the ones also used on caravans.

In which case, go to any electrical wholesaler and ask for the same in
flying socket format.

eg:

Does that look like a match?

There is a flap on the bit attached to the shredder? Doesn't sound
like one of the above, as with those the flap would be on the bit
attached to the lead.

No. The plugs are shuttered on those, not the sockets.

What colour is the connector?

If you or savvy friends are holidaying in Europe, you can get the
connectors in the Sheds in France and possibly other European countries.

Worked for me

So (and the picture is far from clear) - does that lead have a flying Shucko
socket on? Never seen one of those before...

Hi chaps - on closer inspection, it is in fact a 2 pin connection on
the shredder. I have looked in Homebase and the shredder that most
looks like it is a Sovereign - although I'm not sure if that's the
right make or not.

Does this make finding a replacement lead any easier?

Ian

Sounds like a bog standard mower lead - 5mm ish pins about 20mm apart?

Buy a lead from B&Q - if it's wrong, take it back in mint condition and they
should give you a refund (ask first).

It's circular rather than retangular like mower sockets are....
