[Shop-talk] kid safety & outlets (was: 110vac outlet question)

*On subject:*

*Last week, I was using my "gee-whiz" leaf blower/vacuum combination and it
slowed and stopped . . when I looked, the electrical connection was on fire
with serious smoke and stuff and both the male prongs on the blower and the
female receptacle on a 100 foot HD extension card were toast . .  I'll go in
and install a good male plug on the blower and a new female end on the cord
but it is a damned shame that a positive connector wasn't standard equipment
. . *

*Rant over . . *
