Something about sliced bread comes to mind.
It would be particularly useful if each wire was separated on either side of that ring. Then you could put a clamp meter in through the hole.
I have an old Montgomery Wards Airline table radio that has a plug with two finger holes in the plug. I first remember listening to it in 1950 or so.
Ok - WHERE can you buy these?
I was just using my Breville "instant pot" (actually that's the trademarked name of a particular company, but it's probably gonna end up like kleenex, q-tip etc.) the other night and thinking how much I liked that cord end - and wondering why those aren't on more things?!?! OK, I'm sure they cost a bit more to mfg, but still - what a nice design touch!
(And - Nick79 - if you read carefully, apparently they're patented by Breville, so probably only on Breville devices, unless they're licensing 'em...)
