The plug was delivered as advertised. The pictures of the plug were accurate. The directions were found on the back of the packaging, but were rather small to read. I installed the plug in about 15 minutes with no issues. It was then tested and it worked. As seen in the pictures, one side of the plug fingers is wider than the other to differentiate between neutral and hot wires.

Muy buena calidad, pero mi paquete únicamente traía una clavija cuando debían llegar 2 por eso la calificación

I had to fix the end of the cord on my vacuum-it worked perfect.

Design flaw creates a fire hazard. With use the plug blades are pulled away from the housing when being unplugged. This action brings the terminals closer to the plastic interior and over time the hot terminal eventually gets close enough for the attached wire to melt onto the housing body. This creates a dangerous fire hazard as the plastic begins melting away. Photo shows what happened to the plug after using on a vacuum cleaner for 4 years.

I used a pair of these to make lamps - adding a lamp base & light to some ceramic Christmas trees. They seem well made for what they are which is, a crafting-level product NOT something you'd use on a tool or outdoors. Note: the Amazon description states "no wire stripping" needed. I didn't believe that when I read it and as expected, wire stripping is 100% needed; you attach the wires to a normal looking copper terminal with a screw - no insulation-defeating miracle occurs in there LOL.

Easy to attach, great price and delivered on time.

oO recomiendo ampliamente, tiene un costo alto pero la seguridad y facil instalación lo hace muy efectivo y eficiente.

This plug replacement is very high quality. Used it to replace the defective plug on my Kenmore sewing machine power cord. It is working perfectly and easy to install.

You will see on the Amazon product description the words "UL Listed", but it is not. "UL Listed" is found nowhere on the product package and more importantly nowhere on the product itself, which, the UL website says it will be if it has been tested. I also attempted to look this product up directly on the UL website and IT IS NOT LISTED.

I had thrown this plug in the trash, but then, I put on my very best reading glasses and tried again. The "stops" are difficult to see. They are plastic. You do not have to strip the wires, just lay the end against the stops. Next, you'll have to carefully push the wires, one at a time, down into the very narrow channel. Be persistent, It will not want to go, but keep turning and pushing the darn thing until it goes in. When you close the lid on the wires, it is NOT going to cooperate. Force it down anyway with all your might. The screw is going to look too short, but it's not. Just keep turning the screw squeezing as you go until the wires are finally encased in the plug. Bam, it actually worked. By sheer force of my indomitable willpower, my lamp is now working. Hmf.

Purchased this plug as a replacement on a shark commercial vacuum cleaner. Needed a 2 prong polarized plug that would support a bit more amperage than a simple lamp. Didn't realize heavier duty ones were unavailable in the big box stores, so ended up on Amazon and ordered this one. (Always amusing to see how famous brands of yesteryear morph over time...a GE plug?)Two things of note:1. The plug is very large in diameter and will block the use of the other outlet in a 2 socket outlet.2 Odd way the wire fastens to the plug. It seemed to me that the screw and associated the wire holders were backward relative to the screw threading. Maybe I missed something, but it seemed to be a one way street. It tightened down well and not worried that it will come out by accident.If you need a heavy duty plug, this will fit the bill nicely, but for smaller items/low amperage would be massive overkill.

I read through a number of reviews and usually start with the negative as well as read others. I was a bit concerned ordering this item due to the reviews I read. After receiving the item I am glad that I thought the reviews were not appropriate.Pros:installing easy and as per the instructions exactly. I am mentioning this as I have read a few reviews that stated differently. Yes, "You should be removing the white plug part by unscrewing the three screws so that you take the plug out of the holder". This is so that you can connect the wire to the plug and THIS SHOULD BE DONE FIRST along with removing the crimp bracket (two metal pieces and two screws) around the black holder of the plug. Yes you should insert your wire next through the black holder BEFORE you strip the insulation/try to attach to the plug Yes "you have to take any shield or insulation off the wire".... This may not be obvious to the novice but you can not get a proper contact for a wire to the plug without taking a wire stripper (knife … or other cutting tool like a sharp knife for those more experienced). Yes "you have to allow about a 1/2 inch of wire to be exposed" … Again this is such that a good contact is made. Yes "You will need about a total of 1" - 1 1/4" of insulated wire so that you can place one wire on one prong and the other wire on the other prong. Enough wire is required in the plug itself. Yes "This is a polarized plug" Basically for the novice one of the metal prongs on the plug will be larger and will not allow you to place the plug in the socket accept for one direction. Due to comments made I am mentioning this. No you do NOT have to visualize by the hole in the prong as to which prong is the larger one (except for attaching the common white wire). Rather look at the width or size of the prong. The polarized prong DOES not have to be a round larger prong. On this plug it is straight but wider than the other prong. Yes "IMPORTANT … IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN THREE WIRES you have a WRONG plug. OTHERWISE the white wire is usually what is called common. This wire should be attached to the larger or wider prong. The other wire you have will typically be black but could be a different color (but should the hot wire) will be attached to the smaller or narrower prong. To be sure you should look how the wire is attached to the plug you removed or If you are more experienced you can use a multimeter to assist or have a licenced electrician (or experienced person) do the wiring if you are not sure. Yes you should be using the crimp (metal brackets that go around the wire to secure the wire when inserting and pulling out the plug). This is most likely why you selected this type of plug in the first place.Cons:The plug is bulky …. probably bigger than I needed (was attaching to a vacuum wire that had the plug broken. Since it is too common for people using to pull by the wire I think bulky is a better choice anyway.If you have worked with replacing plugs then the above will be well beyond mentioning but because people have stated incorrect information and comments I felt this was necessary to mention.

I ordered this because I couldn't find the identical product in any hardware store where I live, and the salespeople were trying to sell me the wrong kind of replacement plug. It works great! However I would suggest that it should comes with instructions easier to read, or a URL to visit for more information,because not all of us replace plugs every day and the screw arrangement on this one was different from most I've hooked up in the past. Couldn't find a Youtube video with this kind of screw arrangement so it had me puzzled for a while. But I eventually figured it out, and it works great, thanks. Also arrived on time.
