can I just
take a hacksaw to a regular power cable?
Many have done so. A simple test is to check the surface temp
of the connector after some use and see if you notice heat.
If so, bad. Same goes for the length of the cable. Be sure
your House wiring is guarded properly against misuse, that
is, fuses or breakers working properly, in case it does go up
to 20A.
What's needed for this list is the URL of someone selling these
cords. Noone has found one yet.
My last but one kettle came with one. In the UK (at least)
I assume that they are pretty easy to find. If I'd known
that they were worth something I'd have picked up a
handful when I had the chance :-)
