General question on Euro vs. US market tools

[jeh]

It's next to impossible to find a direct UK 110 to US 120 or a UK 240 to US 240 plug adapter.

Just ordered my eBay history to see the name of the item I purchased to make my "adapter". The cool thing with the tools I bought is those heavy duty male and female plugs are not injection molded, which means you can remove the end without cutting the cord. I did this on one tool but I prefer the injection molded plug over the plugs you assemble on your on.

Here is the description of what I bought: 16amp 110v Yellow Site Ceeform Cable Mount Female Socket. 3 Pole PCE (213-4)

I believe the proper name is 3 Pole (213-4). Ebay has it for $12.84 with free shipping: eBay search for 152311039769

The search works as for Google search.

Info on how to find the plug I used to make a 1 ft extension cord to plug directly into the adapter on my 110V saw without cutting the cord or using a Leviton or other brand that looks like crap.
