| I emailed Favero about selling the clip separate from the other parts. His reply is: Quote:
Thank you for the appreciation of our 2-pin plug.
I know that the only weak point is the clip.
We have only one mould that makes all the 3 plastic parts together. It was too expensive to make a mould only to make the clip, also because the cost to make only the clip was the same to make all the 3 parts. There was a ridiculous low difference of cost for the plastic of only 2-3 cents.
Anyway please consider that the cost of the 3 plastic parts (or of only the clip) is of only Euro 1.20. Probably it costs less than a metallic clip.
Best regards
Gino Favero

| Has anyone felt one was heavier or more uncomfortable to use? I always though the bayonet plug on a sabre looked pretty massive. I have only used two prong. | |
