On the subject of plugs and receptacles, quite a number of
professional building contractors around here use 3-prong "twist-
lock" aka "Hubbel" connectors for their corded tools. One advantage
is that the plugs won't simply pull out. The twist-lock connectors
are also quite common in things such as RV hookups and portable
generators and can be had in various sizes of 3 and 4 prong versions.
They were quite common in comptuer data centers, but I don't know if
that's still true.
