Testing 2A Sockets

[Octopus]

Hi All,

Looking for suggestions as to how I can easily test 8 x 2A sockets in a house?

I don't recall seeing any "Kewtech" type adaptors.......

Thanks

Show us a pic of these sockets please. Sounds interesting

No, ...he could well mean the old 2 amp wall MK sockets...

I think there still available in the MK Catalogue too....

Pull the face plates forward to test then. Like int olden days!

I think I've still got my old adaptors in the loft, 2amp, 5amp & 15amp 3 pin plugs with 3 core flex to a connector. Haven't used them for a while as there arn't many causes to do so now, regards piccollo

I was thinking about making short adaptors - 2A plug to 13A sockets so I can plug my tester in!
