STATUS 13A 3‑Pin White Electrical Plug Tops – Pack of 3, BS1363‑Compliant with Cord Grip, CE Certified & Recyclable, Ideal for Home or Office Use, (13APLUG3PK5)

Well packaged items.

They appear to be well made and are easy to wire up. Good to keep a couple spare as a lot of plugs that come already attached to new electrical items seem to be somewhat fragile.

Its hard to get too excited by a plug but these arrived quickly were easy to wire, look like a standard plug and the quality appears to be there. So far the air purify i used this one is working without fault. I only needed one but for this price getting 3 is fine as I'll have spares for those few and far between times I need one.

Product as expected however delivery from supplier well beyond expectations to a Scottish Island - less than 48 hours from placing order.

Always seem to be short of a plug somehow. These are handy to have.

There was nothing wrong with this product as such and the plugs were competitively priced. However, I did find them quite fiddly and frustrating to use and I won't be ordering them again. Nor will I be recommending them to anyone. The screws aren't captive screws and the larger central screw had a habit of falling out and rolling under the nearest cupboard. The live connection was very restricted spacially and I had a challenge whereby I had to remove the fuse to insert the wire, then I found it really hard to convince the fuse to go back into the holder. They do the job, they were sensibly priced, but I have definitely used far more ergonomic plugs before. Not recommended.

One of the things that more mature people often say is "things are not made like they used to be"Sometimes this is not true. In the case of Status 13 Amp plugs I fear that it is true.These plugs are clearly mass produced in China using very thin plastic. When you pick them up they hardly weigh anything at all.I am not suggesting that they are unsafe or not functional but you do get the impression that it would not be possible to refit the plug too many times before a screw broke or stripped.A couple of things to be aware of:The plug has three large screws. Two of the screws hold the cable retainer in place and one screws the two halves of the plug together. At first glance the 3 screws look identical but they are not. The cable retaining screws are thinner. If you use one of these screws to screw the two plug halves together it will not tighten sufficiently.Also be aware that the cable retainer can be used in two different ways to accommodate thick or thin cables.So all in all the plugs are not terrible but like so many things these days are made to a price.
