    Meter Tails hanging loose.

    Oldest electrical appliance or gadget you still use.

    Must be on a plug top and you must have used it in the last year. Mine is a weller soldering gun think I got this for my 12th birthday in 1972. 2 heats and instant warm up trigger action. This is a pic from the net and the pins on the plug are not shielded :oops:
