What is wrong with a rubber 13A combination? You shouldn't be cutting
the grass in the rain.

The flat black ones by MK Duraplug have been around since the 1950s,
and mower companies have had them moulded in orange. But they aren't
shuttered like a 13A one. They do pull apart if tugged, which can be
a safety feature in certain circumstances. Type 102 are 2-pin (for
double insulated devices) and 103 has an offset earth pin.

MK duraplug also do an in-line 13A system, with a round splassproof
skirt that the round plug slips into. ave a look at

The only truly standardised one is the blue 16A conenctor, but it is
virtually unknown domestically except for caravan users.

and boat users and other outdoor users.
