The Plugs (Continued)

UK 3-Pins

For those who require the UK 3-pins plug, you'll be amazed that it is also possible with this adaptor. The third pin is actually hidden in one side of the adaptor.

The third pin

It is quite hard to get it out. You will have to use a fingernail to pull it out.

Of course, this is only necessary when you need to use it.

I'm quite surprised with the compact design and how they managed to squeeze everything into such a small device.

Built Quality

To pack it up, all you have to do is to swivel the pins towards the main body and you can throw it into your luggage bag.

Beware though, it's so small that you might have a tough time locating it in a large suitcase, if you do not store it in a proper place.

Although the body is made entirely of plastic, its built is sturdy enough to withstand a drop from waist level. I'm also impressed with the fact that the body was not easily scratched.

During my recent trip to Beijing, I actually carried the adaptor together with a pair of sharp scissors. And on several occasions, I actually tossed it onto a table a few times. Still it took the beating with little more than superficial scratches.
