If you’re cutting the plug off anyway, may as well fit a flex connection plate instead of socket.
No fuse, no soft plug to socket connection… no overheating
The 13A fused plug was designed for safety, and anything less requires other considerations such as a switched fuse above the worktop rather than a 20A dp.
If fuse links were ever available for plugs in the past, there will a very good reason they are not available now.
To think any domestic socket is inaccessible is poppycock.
It’s adding extra work changing the plug, changing the socket to match. Can still suffer from not gripping the pins and overheating.
Edit. Just getting this post in quick before the inevitable.
