What Adapter???

[ilovemarkb]

Ive bought these in a hurry (possibly with a glass of wine or two). Clearly I didn't read the description. Is there an adapter I can buy so that I can use them in the UK?

Can't see with quick look at description if they are 240v, if they are you can use them with adapter.

No problem.

Something like this.

Make sure you don't get a shaver adapter. That's different and unsuitable.

Thankyou xxx

Didn't realise they were different adapters for shavers Hopkirk, that's what I use mine for.

^^^^
But closer inspection shows the item has straight pins not round, so you are probably correct.

[Hopkirk]

I think you will find shaver plugs have a different spacing to continental plugs.

Also Tony, your Argos shaver adapter has a 1 amp fuse, not enough for this device.

Just checked that out Hopkirk but this one should work, meant to say check out amp rating.

Oh yes Tony, you are right it has flat US type prongs so mine for continental plugs won't do either.

[TonyV]

Hopkirk I just wonder if it is 110v

[Hopkirk]

220 - 240 volts.

I would be a bit nervous of using cheap unbranded ones from eBay, and I certainly wouldn't leave them switched on unattended.

[TonyV]

Ok we got there in the end Hopkirk lol.

[Hopkirk]

Your adapter costs more than the crimpers.

[TonyV]

Yes I know wasn't going to point that out when you can buy these.

[TonyV]

For same combined cost.

Wise choice.

Chuck out the potentially dangerous ones.
