 Lawn mower connector - bathtub tom
I've got myself a new electric, Bosch mower. It's got a modern connector like the one on the left, but moulded into the handle. The lead's got a connector on the end like the one on the right: tinyurl.com/d5mme5e

My old strimmer's got a much older connector of this type: tinyurl.com/cj6alrx

What I'm after is modern male connector on a short flying lead that I can connect an old female connector to on the other end and use as an adaptor so I don't have to use two mains leads when I cut the grass.

The problem is I can't source what I want. Everywhere I've tried is out of stock. I can find them on the web, but no-one's got them.

Any ideas?

I should add I've sourced a new type female connector to attach to my old mains lead, because the new mains lead ain't long enough to reach the far end of my garden. You'd think they'd get the idea that if you buy a mower with 43cm cut, it's going to be for quite a large garden, so why scrimp on the length of the power lead.

This kind of thing but not £20 and not 20metres?

That's the jobby.

Two quid and two metres would be preferable.

And Mark wins this months widest web page, by a mile it has to be said.

For once it actually looks normal on my screen, which is why I haven't edited and changed it to a tinyurl link instead.

It looks like all I need is the adaptor thingmy.

My first link was, I think, longer before I tinyurl'd it:

Could you not just chop the stupid plug off and replace it with a three pin and normal extension lead?

I could FF, but I'm trying to avoid faffing about with two leads.

A bit like 'taking two bottles into the shower' when I used to have hair.
