    Well a proper European plug with earth is also good. As someone who tries to squeez as much as possible into my toolbox, I would appreciate the smaller Euro plugs for all my double-insulated stuff since those plugs are around 40% the size of a proper British 3-pin plug.

    I also had the problem with an 05 Al Book in Europe (but not the US) with a 2 prong, other than that I've never had an issue.
