Solid little grounding plug.Pros:Plugs in without issue.Easy to plug a banana plug into.Cons:Can't really think of any.

I’m sure it is a good product but it doesn’t work for me because it was the wrong product ordered

I have been looking for something like this for years without success. Our test benches have solid copper bar we attach our ESD leads to for grounding. But in the field you may not have have this available. This plug plugs into any 120VAC earth grounded outlet and works extremely well for working on electronics especially any electronics that have any MOS devices including CMOS, CPU, GPU etc., onboard the PCB. These devices will be damaged or killed outright if there is any static charge applied over 50 Volts static. Since at a minimum the human body has at least 5,000 Vs on the skin an could easily be more than 100,000 Vs, exposure to these voltages can kill the devices or damage their junctions causing premature failure. This plug in grounding plug takes a banana plug input. The body appears to be made of glass-filled polycarbonate that is very ideal electrically and costs more to make. It is an excellent insulator and is perfect for supporting the metal ground terminal. I bought two of these and they work great!

I won't lie it works but it's just plastic and a grounded plug. It shouldn't cost more than 2 or 3 bucks

I have my Roku remote connected to a Bluetooth transmitter so I can hear "Home Theater Sound" when I play anything on Roku. This was my problem: most of the house is carpeted, so we're always picking up a lot of potential static electricity as we shuffle through the house. Most often all it meant was annoying static shocks when we touched a door handle. But when the Roku clicker is attached the Bluetooth transmitter, the shock goes through the Roku remote into the Bluetooth transmitter, breaking the Bluetooth connection and doing who-knows-what to the internal wiring of my fancy electronics. I found a solution and this is half of it!This "StaticTek Banana Jack Outlet Plug Adapter" gizmo (both these things have such great names), has two plastic prongs that go down each of the hot bars in one of the electrical outlets next to the couch in my den. Now class, you must believe with all your hearts that plastic does not conduct electricity for this experiment to work. The metal tube that goes into the ground hole of the outlet is the real deal: it conducts electricity. That tube goes through the plastic tunnel on the outside of the adapter, and you can see the end of metal tube just inside tunnel. Know this, my young scientists and believe it with all your hearts: the grounding port of an electrical outlet takes electricity in, only. Electricity will never come out of it.Now to partner with this, I bought these fun, little colorful, "Body Static Eliminator Discharger" sticks.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0792VB871?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_titleAll I do when I sit down on the couch, before I reach for Roku clicker, is I take a discharger stick and touch it to the end of the metal tube, accessible within the tunnel on the outlet plug adapter. I feel nothing, but a tiny bolt of lightning is visible within the colorful window of Body Static Eliminator Discharger Stick, and then my Roku clicker is safe from my touch.If you are frying your electronics with your own personal static, this might be a fun home science project for you to participate in, as well! (My excellent 1982 NAD stereo receiver is made so the case is grounded by the plug. That's the other way I ground myself. I touch a different colored discharger stick to one of the screws on the outside of the receiver box!)

these are well built having a solid conductor all the way through which give it very low resistance which is good for what i need. ive bought 2 of them now, the only bad thing was there is a visible defect in the plastic on both that's wavy but this has nothing to do with its electrical or safety properties so no stars off.

Only gripe is they are a bit bulky and block out the outlet next to it on my power strip. But overall they work well and I might be changing the strip to a longer one later anyways

The plug arrived exactly as described. I use it to ground a household ethernet switch. Lots of lightning strikes here in Florida, and you can’t be too careful.

I don't have access to a ground besides the one in the outlet and my outlets down have case grounding lugs that I can just attach my mat ground into, so I had to rig up a solution that works for my setup using this as my ground. It uses up an outlet on me, but it is worth it to have a ground plane to neutralize the static while I work on soldering and repairs. Thanks for making this solution!

It provides reliable and efficient grounding solutions, ensuring a secure connection for my electronic devices. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quality outlet plug adapter!

Didn't electrocute me when I plugged it into an outlet and the PC I was building booted up so I guess this thing does its job

Bought 3 of these. Each one has a very solid, tight fit to both the outlet ground and a banana plug. These adapters are SUPER USEFUL to provide a far more secure fit than resting a banana plug directly in mains ground with a lot of wiggle room. I use these to shield rooms from high voltage fields extending a few feet from the walls due to power lines running inside the walls, and to shield rooms from RF radiation from various electronic devices and computer equipment. I clip one end of an alligator-banana cable to a solid, metallic cover (e.g. an aluminum-foil lined box or wall) and the other end into mains ground to ground the shield and route stray voltage to mains ground.I don't use these for earthing products such as grounding mats and EMF canopies. I only ground myself to earth ground, not mains, since mains can allow a small amount of back current (and would also be dangerous without a diode and resistor). On all my earthing product cables, I use an alligator clip fitted over the banana plug so I can connect them to an earth ground stake.

Works well for what it is. It could really be a lot cheaper considering the materials used. I bought two, so I'm set for life.
