Freakygreek - just be aware that it is called a "cheater" plug because using it to disconnect a safety ground is illegal. There is a very good reason why it's illegal. You can create a serious safety hazard by using a "cheater" plug to disconnect a safety ground.

Concerning cheater plugs I didn't know that they were illegal. I found out today when I called my local HomeDepot.

I'll have to rethink my course of action.

I don't know where you live FreakyGreek, but in Los Angeles, adapter plugs are sold in all hardware stores that I'm aware of, and I've never heard of them being illegal (certainly doesn't mean they aren't, but then why are they sold?). In fact, adapter plugs are often necessary because many homes in Southern California were built without ground wires, and have wall outles without the hole for a ground pin. Without adapter plugs, many appliances with ground plugs can't be used. Of course, the other way around is to install new outlets with holes for ground pins, but still without a ground connected.

Tvad,

I live in Toronto,Canada and I can buy them but not at a hardware store. According to the sales person at my local homedepot they are a banned item.

I was told I can buy them at the local dollar store but how effective are they I don't know.

Freakygreek, I've offered all the ideas I can think of. It's up to you to take action however you see fit. Best of luck.
