Is yours burned out completely? Mine stopped working last time I used it, only need it for my big drill/breaker. Thought it was totally stuffed, lid off & a wire had come adrift. Simple solder job & it's all good again

I had one like that in the U.K for ages, I turned the plug through 45 deg & screwed it back on. It looked weird but was functional
The one I have here is a huge one with both 110 plug sizes, if I had to get one from the U.K it would cost a fortune in freight so I feel your pain.
I don't use mine on site, I did for a while but I've replaced everything in the last 10 years. There are a few out & about hope you find one.
