I've found this adapter solid strong and great quality while light in weight. Whenever traveling to UK, Malaysia and Singapore, it converts my Australian plugs. I can see from the list that there are many countries in the world that use the "UK" style plugs, so this adapter will convert most all others due to the clever layout of the slots on the front. I've also used it for mobile phone chargers I bought in Thailand, again for use in UK, Malaysia and Singapore. It's much more efficient than traveling with a bag full of adapters, if you are going to the UK or any of those countries with UK style plugs, this is all you need. By a few extra in case you need to plug in more than one piece of equipment, it's not expensive. (Posted on 13/02/09)
