Mains remote plug recommendations?

[Geoff_S]

I've got my extractors at one end of my workshop with the machinery in other places!

So, I have always used remote controlled plugs so that I don't have to wander backwards and forwards when using the machines. It's not that my workshop is big, that's
part of the problem, it's a bit crammed and I don't so much wander round my workshop, as squeeze past the various machines and bits of wood. So the
remote control plugs are very handy.

Until today, when they have been re-called due to the fact that some catch fire!

When I bought them I searched the web for something suitable. How stupid was that?

Can anyone recommend a quality, safe remote control plug that can handle 2000W. It is one of those things where I am not looking to
save money, that might not be cost effective!

Sheeeeet, unplug 'em and get back to B&Q

I don't even know why I got that email from B&Q, but I'm glad I did now.

Siemens make some under the Lightwaverf brand. Don’t get the dimmer ones though. I have loads of the Siemens stuff in my house for lighting although I actually use the Lidl ones for exactly the same as you in my workshop.

Just replaced my B&Q ones with Energenie ones from Screwfix - the sister company of B&Q. They do 3 plugs with one controller for £19.99.

I use remotes from Maplins. Used for a few years now and they have been superb. Can’t remember the brand, but I’ve never seen the same ones anywhere else.

Think they also sell them in packs of one or two.
