Does anyone know where you can get the 'new' type of adapters that fit around a 2 pin plug ? I've seen them a few times on recent electrical purchases, but I haven't seen them in the shops.

The old style ones were a 3 pin plug which had 2 sockets in the top - you plugged your 2 pin plug in but in my experience these tend to be a little flaky as the 2 pin plug can fall out or come loose.

The new ones wrap around the entire 2 pin plug and are screwed closed so there is no chance of the 2 pin plug falling out.

Anyone know where to get them or what they're called (other than 2 pin adapter yokes) ? I've only ever seen them supplied with new devices, but I'm sure that I can get them out there somewhere.

Cheers,
