Travel Adaptor

Please note:
"The surge feature was removed last year to ensure compliance with the amendment to the Australian/New Zealand standards 3100 Amendment 3.
Amendment 3 which adds several requirements for MOVs included in powerboards, adaptors etc - the plain English interpretation of A3 is that there must a thermal fuse and current fuse added that will take an MOV out of circuit in the event of a gradual or sudden failure of the MOV.
This is being achieved by either adding the "A3" components to each product, or simply removing surge protection entirely from the relevant products"

Great value, no nonsense product. Great value, no nonsense product.
Some retailers are charging way too much for these.
As others have stated, it is too big for what it is.
I'm not 100% happy with the hold strength for US plugs.

Otherwise its a high quality construction, plugs fit firmly without slipping out and it does the job.

Good build quality, replaced my previous one with a broken circuit Good build quality, replaced my previous one with a broken circuit
It works fine but it is very large. You cannot put two on adjacent sockets on a standard power strip. I have other adapters that do not have this issue. It works fine but it is very large.

this plug works well (i've only tried it adapting a chinese plug so far) and it's not loose like some can be. price was more reasonable than other places, and product works as intended, so 5 stars ^^ this plug works well (i've only tried it adapting a chinese plug so far) and it's not loose like some can be. price was more reasonable than other places, and product works as intended, so 5 stars ^^
It worked fine. But be mindful of it’s size. This is a big adaptor that can occupy space in the sockets. It worked fine. But be mindful of it’s size. This is a big adaptor that can occupy space in the sockets.
