Hi Everyone. In this this short video . I'd like to explain why there is no point to use safety covers for the socket outlet, the UK socket outlets are already much safer than in any other countries and to use the covers sometimes can make the socket unsafe. Hope You will find this video useful if so Please Subscribe for more videos.

Very nice video... i always tell my customers to remove them as they are completely useless and create more problems than solve them, but they harldly ever listen ...
Thankyou for doing this. I didnt believe it until I watched it !
Yes, you are right, I had not realised this. It does look like a plastic toy to a child, and they would fiddle with it, easily take it out and then re insert it the wrong way exposing the live terminals, exactly as you suggest. These should be outlawed because of this reason, which has only been noticed by you, so well done! best wishes from Alan, in England.
Nursery schools in the UK don't have to use those anymore! They were de-registered a couple of years ago!
Thanks for this - I've always thought they were at the least unnecessary, but also dangerous in some circumstances.
Very well demonstrated. I've always seen these as something to entice children rather than keep them away!
Wow thank you very much Mr Sparky and I am new in the trade, since I subscribed on your channel I have learnt so much and your videos have put me ahead of my class👌👌👌👌👌👌👌.
Thank you for your help
Great information and very helpful, all parents should know about these covers and the covers should be totally banned.
Well said. Those things are a menace and should be banned.
I would also suggest that those which use the upper pin connection to hold them in place are stressing the earth pin connection spring. If that spring becomes slack the earth connection will become higher restistance and the appliance earthing might be reduced.
you are right why people use them
great video m8
Hi there Sir
I like to watch your video because you show everything with details and with very easy explanation. I have a very special request to you. Can you please make a video like how to build or make a patio or decking? I would really appreciate it. Thank you and keep doing the good work.
The Worst part is that to a child they look like toys.. and they can easily be put in upside-down opening the shutters and then snapping off with the pin still in the earth slot keeping the shutters stuck open
That is bloody good video!! I WILL SHOW IT TO MY WIFE!!😉
I toatly agree should be banned from selling those nasty plastic cover and improve with a safer and better quality enjoyed the video.
Unfortunately that doesn't work with any country that use 2 holes socket
Since the cover for these 2 holes are only prevent water and unnecessary electric shock by touching bare hand, they do not work with the fork or pen
But honestly I really feel that that kind of socket should be used worldwide, yet they don't
if someone still wasn't convinced that the sockets are perfectly safe, then they could get a childproof cover to install over the entire outlet, which also covers up any plugs that might be inserted into the outlet
Not to mention the plastic will decay and become more conductive.
Hmm thanks. I guess it depends on the child.
This type of cover is not designed perfectly, the neutral and live legs should be very small compared to the earth.
Man said into their holes 😂😂
What are you an electrician or a handy man
Free professional advice, take it, leave it, don't knock it!! Btw, you didn't state your professional qualifications!
@@stevepalmer2389 I'm an electrician myself but I dont know what I'm doing half the time
No offense but this is the most ridiculous reasoning ever. The babies are attracted to anything different from the wall even a little crack on the wall the want to play with. They want to play with the rectangular outlet if it has no plugs hahahahahahaa. Put the safety cap then some duct tape. Hahahhaha.
1:15 Don't put your fingers around the back of the plug, smh
