   Yes, I do think the twistlocks are a win for a number of reasons.  And they   
   do disconnect while plugged in, so you don't get the arc in your face if   
   you disconnect under load like you do with straight-blades.  I have never seen   
   them in a residential install but I'd love to see more of them.
