Default Re: So like me you thought it was OK to plug a 10amp device into a 15amp outlet.

DETA only came into the discussion as the Bunnings guys who run the Hardware Workshop consulted with them and HPM as outlined in my opening post. I must admit I also thought it was a DETA as it looks almost identical so it may have come out of the same Chinese factory.
fwiw, voltex are pretty much in the same basket as deta, cheap imported garbage
