I need to go to the Lowe's store today for a few things, including a few
new electric wall outlets to replace some old worn out ones.They sell
them from less than one dollar each, up to about five or six dollars
each.Why is there so much difference in the prices? They all look the
same to me, and I am not talking about the kind with GFI either.I don't
want GFI wall outlets, they SUCK!
I have a Plug Grip,
www.pluggrip.com
I bought at Lowe's a few
months ago.I am just iching to try it out.Of course I will flip the
circuit breakers before I start messin with those wall outlets.
cuhulin, get a Grip on that plug
Wall outlets come in 3 grades.
Residential... The lowest quality. These are not really suitable for
large appliances, or outlets that will be plugged/unplugged
frequently.
Spec-A significantly higher quality (more copper, bigger pieces,
better contacts to hold the plug tighter and make better contact)
Hospital Grade (essential Spec grade with the extra cost being the
product liability insurance).
Then of course there is the matter of Mdade in USA versus Made in
China
