Re: Who's still using their old Safebloc?
Cables with mains plug to croc-clips were generally called 'suicide leads' at one place I worked. Very useful, but you had to hide them when the safety officer was doing his checks (FWIW he knew they existed but couldn't oficially complain about them if he didn't see them...)
A friend of mine made his own safebloc-a-like using croc-clips fixed inside a sliding-lid wooden box (I think originally a cigar box). He fitted a double pole switch to isolate said clips and the clever part was he arranged things so that the lid could only be sild open if the switch was off. It woudn't pass an offiical safety inspection but it was a bit safer than a lot of such things.
