They are--probably around $5 in single-unit quantities.
I use one on my
automatic dishwasher.
It's the hospital-grade receptacles and plugs that are dear here. Aside
from an additional endorsement and a different color, I don't know if they
differ much from the ordinary consumer grade stuff.
Cheers,

For anything except the most basic use, get the commercial grade. We had big problems at
the computer lab at my school because the original electrician used the cheap receptacles,
and they started tripping the breakers last year . . .
I think most of the plugs you can get are pretty well made, though. Expect to spend about
$7-$10 for a grounding plug with screw terminals.
