Why does every store refuse to sell you these? Yes, I know the risks. I don't need to be lectured, just give sell me the product.
>>2993094>this stupid useless retarded as fuck thread againgo back to /b/ kid.
>>2993094>Yes, I know the risks.Then you know there is a better alternative. Picture related. Which you clearly DON'T know about, which means you are an idiot. Idiots should never be sold products they 'think' should exist.
>>2993094this is /diy/, take two extension cords and wire/solder/electrical tape up a 4-way hazard monster for ultimate flexibility
>>2993100It’s still got the male pins with potentially high voltage on them.There has got to be a better solution.
>>2993094practical use?
>>2993158you plug one end into ur generator and the other end into a socket
>>299315360309 version of this but one where there is also an electrical isolation switch which is interlocked and cannot be connected until a plug is fully inserted and stops the plug being removed until switched off again.But I would suggest most people who need a gen often enough to add a socket for it might as well hardwire it into a supply changeover switch and build a little shed around it or something to keep it in permanently.
>>2993153It shouldn't ever be wired up so it could do that. That's the point. The male prongs there are never hot. They are sitting there cold waiting for you to plug an extension cord in, and then your connex box or whatever will be powered.And this way you never had to make a suicide plug.
>>2993153That should only be on the cold side of the connection. You can get them for running the power for a wall-mounted TV down. They're literally just as dangerous as an unplugged power cord.The reason male-male cords aren't allowed is because you can plug one end into the hot and have exposed pins with a live charge.
