Foil/Sabre Body Cord

I second all the good points and bad points given by the other reviewers. The biggest positive is that these body cords give consistently good contact with the sockets they plug into. There are two more irritations that should be mentioned, however. First, if you don't pay attention the screw that holds the retaining clip can come loose and when it does the parts go flying and odds are you won't find them all. I put a drop of nail polish on the head of the screw to help keep it in place.



Another problem is that moisture can work its way into the cord from the two-prong end. After a while you can see the discoloration of the wires through the transparent insulation. I suspect that this corrosion is part of the problem with the habit of the wires breaking at the junction with the two prong socket.
