Mine are in there pretty firmly. I assume you mean an ungrounded one, because the triple prong is sturdy as heck.

Either way, both kinds can be plenty sturdy, definitely resists bumps. I'd expect a quality issue with the adapter.

being used to all plug bodies, including two-prong, being recessed at least 18mm, means the us one feels flimsy no matter how firmly it's in the adapter...

oh also this was a wall-wart style power adapter that should probably not have been a wall-wart. a bit too large for that.

my problem with european plugs is the nonstandardisation between horizontal and 45 degree outlets.
shits. mess and a headache

the standard is that you need to accommodate both configurations. most device manufacturers don't realise this.
