Kettle leads!

**Steve** · 26-09-2005, 11:16 AM

Had a bit of a tidy up this weekend. Firstly, I found my HEXUS.jumper:

Ideal for clearing CMOSes or setting master/slave mode on IDE drives, HEXUS stylee.

Once I'd finished playing with my HEXUS.jumper, I gasped at the number of kettle leads I have.

It would seem I have more kettle leads than I do kettles. I have but one kettle. The more mathematically minded of you will have already deduced that i have at least two kettle leads. Luckily I have plenty of PCs and peripherals to plug them into.

Don't ask me how, but I've collected many, many kettle leads. Some run-through, some dual connector, some foreign!

Anyway, I thought I'd post a poll to see if I'm the only one with a zillion of the things.

I have about 15, some in use, most in my spares bin. 2 of them are US plugs ??

I've got a few lying about, and a few being used.

Its always handy to have some spare ones just incase

I've got too many. I think between myself and my music enthusiast housemate we've along the lines of 30+ kettle leads.

Riddle me this: my kettle doesnt use a kettle lead.

Have about 6 working all the time - lord knows why the fuses havent all gone pop...theres a 30A fuse on the mian feed line to make sure theres life in them yet i think.

Spares? Well its one with every case I buy, monitor, at least 2 with a part exchange system....I'd say I have 20 spares.

too many... I find them all the time in my bags of spares. No idea where I collected them from.

You know, Kettle leads are different to the ones common used on electrical applicances Eg. Pcs.

**Steve** · 27-09-2005, 10:52 PM

But well call them kettle leads.
