Received one of these 13A shockers from a computer recycler, with an otherwise tidy PC that had one time been through a PAT test.

If the device doesn't need earth, class 2 appliance, and thus could have
a plastic earth pin, what is the harm of having a half shrouded one.

It doesn't meet the spec for the standard, and is potentially lethally hazardous.

I have a couple of these - handy for squeezing into overloaded
extension blocks.
the "kettle" plug at the other end could be used with, um, a
kettle. Which is not so good...

Have you tried it? Most "kettle" leads won't actually go into a kettle
as they've not got the notch that "hot condition" leads have, quite a
lot of beefier server and network kit uses them.

Studied the link, and noticed the notch for the first time. Then wandered into
the kitchen for a coffee. First thing I saw was the "Kettle" connector for a mainstream brand soup-maker, with a 1Kw heater element. No notch!
I love this group...

I'd expect only *used* in Hong Kong?

Yes, supply them ... for some reason I keep one in my odds'n'sods box of mains connectors.
