Is there an adapter plug to fit this extension cord?

[giddyup]

I use this extension cord for mowing the lawn, trimming edges and trimming a hedge, three different tools. They all have the same plug that fits this socket, ie two round pins. However I will probably want to use this cord with an angle grinder I just bought, which has the standard two flat pins. Is there an adapter that I can use to change from two round to two flat pins?

A Schuko plug with a 2 pin trailing socket

Just get a travel adapter from Lazada or Powerbuy.

Just stick wires in using 2 screwdrivers the same size as the holes in the socket. ????????????

That’s the luxury Thai way ???? 

The safety conscious way is a couple of bits of bamboo holding the wires in.

 

the standard way is just jam the wires in.

Yeah I have to laugh here sometimes when I've been subjected to health and safety on building sites in the UK. 

 

That said I do, do it sometimes if necessary, like guys here that want to do some welding,  wires straight into the house in coming Chang switch.

Relevant Anecdote

 

More years ago than I care to remember we were doing work in another Asian country (think 1988 summer olympics).

 

We saw an old chap on site welding, he had the wires of the welder stuck in the outlet, the wires were fizzing gently.

 

We happened to have the correct plug in stock so we let him have one.

 

On returning back that way later we noticed that he had attached the two loose pins of the plug to his wires (good start) but he had then discarded the plastic bits and stuffed the bare pins into the outlet. 

 

At least it wasn't fizzing.

Good thinking, how was he to know that every socket had the same spacing? ????
