    Earth has gone missing !!!

    Must get Scotty onto this…

    • Which one is missing earth?

    Best deal is the 3 pack for $7.09, it covers almost all countries and cheap! Bring with you a power board and you are good to go.

    For Japan, I used the US one with no problems.

    Thanks TA.

    • Yeaa. But the delivery also costs about 7 dollors :(

        Not if you're clicking and collecting

      What do you do in Japan when faced with a two (flat) pin power socket?
      Does the Korjo third (round) pin retract?

  • First, changing Plugs + Sockets doesn't change Voltage.

    2nd, it might pay - if you're visiting lotsa lands -
    to buy 1 or just a few Multi-Band adapter.

    3rd, if you plan long enough before the strart of your trip,
    a 3-pin adapter (ie, adding Ground to a 2-pin adapter, shown
    In earlier version of sample adapter photo…),
    to import adapters [from HK or China].

    Of course, YMMV.

    • First, changing Plugs + Sockets doesn't change Voltage.

      Most electronic devices are now multi voltage, but yes check!

      • True enough, but I want folks to Check rather than Kill theirs, just in case.

        When I was a boy… Stuff from USA were 115 v AC only.
        Google+Apple - among others - have changed that a bit.

      For those with Wave-&-Save, there are aluminum protectors

      (Neighborhood Watch was selling 'em for under $1, in Qty 3 up, at the Royal Show.

      Maybe u can make 1 from an aluminum tinny & a pair of tin-shears…?

    • Thanks for letting us know, bought one of these too!

  • +2

    time to go overseas

    • +1

      Yeah the savings on these adapters offset that weak dollar

  • Thanks TA.

    None of them will convert voltage right? Heading to the US in 3 weeks, any deals going around for voltage converters?

    • dont more of your electronics work off 110-240V?
      I know mine do…..

      • Probably do, but I haven't travelled to the US in 18 years so I'm a bit unsure really. Time to check the specs

    • Not at those prices…

      Those that do likely have a transformer inside,
      that adds weight to your bag.

      Best to buy gear that handles 100-240 Volts @ both 50 & 60 Hz.

      PS Frankly, I wouldn't carry any Costly (read: Apple or other high-end Branded gear), unless - in some places - u want 2 attract trouble.

  • is there any korjo one that suits bali for sale atm?

    Has anyone bought one of these before - All in One International Travel Power Charger Universal Adapter AU/UK/US/EU? For $3.38 would this not be a better option?

    • By the time that arrives I'll be planning the trip after next [Check delivery dates on item]

    • I've purchased one of those and it works well. Used it in Cambodia and Thailand.

    • I have one, does the job, dont have to think about buying any other adapters. But don't expect the same quality

    • I have used it in Europe and Asia including Japan (110v). Also got one with double 500mA usb ports which costs $8 only. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Universal-Power-Adapter-Electric-… Both worked really well for me.

      i have one of those. the problem with those is that the flat prongs (used at an angle for australia, and straight for other countries) move, and they don't hold a solid connection to the wall. they are prone to slipping out of the socket (slightly at an angle) and losing connection. it invariably involves balancing/bracing something against the adapter to keep it in place!

      i hate them. solid adapters are WAY less of a hassle, in my opinion.

      (this applies only to the type in the link above…there are other universal adapters that may be better)

      YMMV

      • someone negged me for providing comments on my actual first-hand experience? ok…

        see comments from "Make it so" below about flat prongs on chinese adapters. well, these universal one have the same prongs AND they swivel/move (making them even less solid)!

        but whatevs, buy whatever you want, and neg away! :)

      I'd rather pay full price for Korjo adapters, than risk an adapter that may not work or could electorate me.

      • Are you on the electrician's roll too? ;-)

        • Wow… I had a long day ok

          electrocute*

  • I'm going to nepal. Which would be the best option for me? USB ports would be very useful

  • Which one is suitable for use in the Middle East?

  • For the RFID p/p protectors, in theory, you could tuck yr cc in there too(?)

    Thanks ordered one for pick up.

  • this is beyond Amazing - Moving whole house to Malaysia next week - On today's "to-do" list - buy 7 travel adaptors - I thought I was going to be up for $70+ - thanks!!!!

    • +5

      Technically, if you are moving your house, your sockets remain the same. And cost the of travel adapters would be the least of my concern :)

    • +2

      Don't waste your money. You should be able to buy universal powerboards for not much more in Malaysia and then if and when you return you just change the plug.

      Also, hopefully you've been following the political news. I would be careful around the centre of the city.

    Damn I paid 16c more on the DSE sale last week.

    Almost all those links are out of stock.

    • Yep, only the europe double adapter, passport defender and JACKSON USB Travel Adaptor World are showing as in stock now.

  • I never used the Korgo brand adaptor.Are they good than the ones found in most Chinese shops in westfield ?

      I have a whole pile of those grey "export only" travel adapters. They are "ok" for converting UK plugs to AU ones, but suck for everything else. They do not snugly fit a US or EU plug, and are download danagerous for those. The AU pins that come out of those cheap ones do not fit snugly because they use pins that are too thin (they incorrectly assume AU pins have the same thickness as US pins).
      So in summary: these Korgo ones are way better. Seems they ran out of the Korgo Reverse packs though. I bought two packs of those last week to replace those dodgy grey ones.

      • +1

        I only use Korjo for quality

      • +1

        yeah i bought the us/eu to aus plug and it had more tight feel compared with those $1 ones off ebay which felt very loose and would just disconnect even moving it a little.

  • Just priced matched the set of three adaptors at DJs Chermside.

    • DJ's electironics are Dicksmiths now aren't they?

      • +1

        They are, but they were still $29.95 at DJs.

  • Just beware that the Euro adapter from Korjo is not very good. At least I had trouble in Korea, which uses Euro style plugs. The problem is that the pins on the adapter seem to be just a little bit too small in diameter and do not make good contact. Issues range from no proper contact at all to sparking and arcing. Potentially a very dangerous thing to have.

    • That doesn't sound too off from what I've been hearing. European and Korean plugs are slightly different in size, so sometimes it can cause problems like that.

  • Belkin armbands also on sale

  • BUGGER missed out on the Switzerland and Japan plugs…

    Does anyone know what happens with those if your Aussie device has 3 prongs?

    • well, you'll need to use a different adapter, because a 3 prong plug won't plug into a 2 prong socket! not enough holes! ;)

      the third prong is the ground, which grounds the device to stop you getting electrocuted in case something inside shorts (effectively, it's a second fallback "neutral" plug). so if you do plug a three prong device into a two prong socket (using an cheater plug or an adapter/powerboard inbetween, or cutting off the third prong), then the device will still work, you just won't have the extra protection of the third prong.

      people use "cheater plugs" all the time, but just be wary of the risk involved!

      • I am aware of what the third prong does but I ran into this issue when I was in Switzerland for a layover. My hotel only had those smaller EURO plugs in the room near my bed and I couldn't charge my phone which was annoying.

        I am going to Japan at the end of the year so what is the SAFEST way to charge my laptop? (With a 3 prong plug charger?)

  • Pretty annoying as I went to DS store and they had loads of them.. I

  • Stil plenty in store, i got them to price match their online store, and they were happy to do it. (DSE Emporium Melbourne). Receipt forthcoming.

  • Managed to get a US one…the rest are all out of stock!
