13A White Polycarbonate Socket Converter 1 Gang to 2 Gang

I fitted a few very similar ones, around the house, about 10 years ago. (Not sure if the same brand) They were always a but 'clunky' with plugs often very hard to plug in and switches poor quality. Eventually, most of them failed with plugs impossible to insert, switches completely failed in off mode, screw hole covers always falling out and eventually they blow up (tripping the breaker) when trying to get plugs in. (Seems the internal plastic parts are brittle and start to break and then the metal parts are free to move around and short itself out) One by one, I had to reinstall the original single sockets. So I bought one of these to see it they have improved. It does seem a bit more refined. Plugs can be inserted easily into both sockets, the screw hole covers have been improved and the switches seem a little better although still feel cheap. So will see how it goes but hopefully will buy more at a later date.

I am very impressed with this socket converter. Its usefulness cannot be overstated — it’s a cost-effective and tidy way to double your plug capacity in minutes without having extension cords everywhere. The ease of use during installation was a standout feature; because it is a direct replacement, there was no need for any complex new wiring, which saved me a lot of time. I had no issues with compatibility either, as it aligned perfectly with my standard single back box. Regarding the appearance, the clean white polycarbonate finish looks very neat and modern on the wall. The unit itself feels solid and well-made, giving me confidence in its long-term durability. Overall, a high-quality product that does exactly what it promises. Highly recommended!

Good replacement for previously bought unsafe Chinese one that didn’t even come with screws.

Very well made. Very easy installation. Simple instructions included. The only trouble you might have is the length of cables "to play with" after removing the single socket. (TURN THE POWER OFF FIRST !) Small flat-blade screwdriver needed.

Does what's it's designed to do, a bit fiddly getting the retaining screws in but they're all like that.

Spot on.

Easy to fit & looks ok

Low price, basic design, fits well, easy to install and safe. Does exactly what I needed it to do... convert 1 socket into two without protruding into the room too much
