Just as well made as the originals! You’ll need a cable extension for normal use.

Goes perfect with the NESC, but the cord is a bit short. Nonetheless, it works perfectly!

Same as what we all used back in the 80's but the 2ft cord makes it less desirable. You'll need an extension cord which adds another $5-10 to the cost.
