Nope. Brand new. Several of them.

Also, the US connector doesn't grip very well to begin with.

I mostly use F or E, plus the occasional A.

Why does every hotel ever have those stupid loose plugs? If you sneeze right it'll just fall out.

Then you're buying shit.

I use universal with everything and they grip way stronger than default US outlets. Just a fact. Never have a plug hanging out. Works with grounded and ungrounded. I even replaced every outlet in a few of my US houses with universal, they are that awesome. No issues for many years, at least 15 now, with various inputs including well used ones in a kitchen for example with appliances being plugged and unplugged all the time.

Literally the only thing I like a US plug and socket for, are extension cords. The 5-15 is a great option for a long run. Don't need a book sized receptacle on one end or a giant cylindrical twisty lock to power a 20W load somewhere.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
