Changing plugs on appliances (so I don't have to use adapter)

[Noodles14]

Hi, I want to change the plugs on a few appliances, i.e. Cut off the Australian plug and put on a new HK/UK one.

Does anyone know where I can buy "plug heads" so that I can do this? Around Clearwater Bay / Sai Kung area if possible.

thanks.

you may have small electrical shops on the street that sell them..
or Japan Home Store ..

Most small hardware shops have them. Get there an electrical screwdriver too.

Blue or black = N
Brown or red = L

Japan Home Centre

For Sai Kung - hardware shop on King Man Street (opposite Sha Tsui Playground)
For Clear water bay - Hang Hau Village has a hardware store (left of 7-11) or there is two hardware shops outside On Ning Garden Block 1 (Sheung Ning Road).

Find the small stalls, you get them for just a few bucks each.

Thanks so much for your quick replies. Will get to work changing plugs tomorrow!

There isn't a lot of point to be stripping wires etc when you can get these things very easily for $5 each:


Also you can get these things on Ap Liu Street, Sham Shui Po with 8 outlets (with a HK outlet that plugs into the wall) for less than $100:

Those power strips which accept multiple types of plug are available in a lot of electrical shops, not always on display for mysterious reasons, try going in to one and showing a picture, they probably have some hidden away somewhere

Personally, I'm not a big fan of 2 pin sockets, I find that they don't really fit well and tend to wobble about in the sockets.
