   URL relates to a "Thermoplasic moulding 13 AMP Fused Easy pull   
   handle BS 1363 IP20 Rated Grip for easy removal of plug from   
   socket"   
      
   ...and?........   
      
   That's product is great for someone with a problem with their   
   finger-grip, it does nothing to help those with muscular   
   problems, nor does it provide a solution to the other two issues   
   I mentioned relating to flex damage from being strained and   
   emergency disconnection (although if the flex was cable tied to   
   the handle...).
