When I started work the guy I worked with had one of these plugs fitted to his soldering iron. It was the mid 1960's and a variety of socket outlets were to be found. However there was one socket, or maybe it was a light socket it wouldn't fit. To get round this the guy wired the other type of plug in parallel with the Fitall and encased the unused plug in a plastic bag to provide insulation.
