Skross PRO World Travel Adapter With Ground Plugs

It was a very useful gift for my friend who is travelling frequently to different countries

Compact compared to other multi-country adapters. Locking mechanism is a big draw; it locks the chosen plug into place, avoiding a point of frustration with non-locking designs. Innovative method for including the adapter most commonly used in continental Europe. Highly recommended!

This thing goes EVERYWHERE with me. There isn't a plug it can't handle (except my native South Africa lol, but I don't need an adaptor here!)It's a bit heavy so if the receptacle is loose you'll have a problem. Put something under to support it.

Looks like a great Adapter but unfortunately I thought it was a World Adapter and found out it did not work in Italy whcih is where I went. I think therre is another one by Skross Pro that includes Italy. My mistake. If you are buying one be sure to check whee it works. World Adapter implies it will work everywhere in the world. That was not the case. Luckily I had another adapter that did work.

All the plugs you will need

I've used this on every continent now and couldn't recommend it higher. Other brands have been totally screwey or surge, or don't even have the grounded (circle at bottom) bit. Stays in the outlet nicely too. Thanks so much!

If you travel outside the US, you need one of these. This thing is excellent. I purchased a Poweradd [UL Listed] 2-Outlet International Travel Charger for an overseas trip. It worked almost everywhere and I recommend that as well. If you only want to carry one, buy this one. When I got back, I picked up one for my girlfriends 'go bag' in case she needs it. Mine lives in my pack. Was useful here in the States. A guest from England needed to charge his laptop, only had his UK power adapter. This allowed him to plug in and go.

The description specifies: "Suitable for equipment with earthed & unearthed plugs (2- & 3-pole)" and "Snap-on top with included USB port" -- these features are why I chose this item rather than other items from the same manufacturer.On the item I received, the packaging is marked "Suitable for 2-POLE PLUGS" and the casing reads "Caution: for use with unearthed appliances only." No snap-on top/usb port came with it. NOT AS ADVERTISED!
