You're not the only one DJK.

I've rewired a few Schuko type plugs myself and they're just a pain, especially when you're using .75mm x 3 flex and you have to ball the peeled conductors up in order for the terminal screw to bite down.

I also once wired a new Europlug to the flex of one my cassette players (it's 110/220 volt switchable). The mail-order distributor I bought three of them from to experiment from thought you soldered it to the wires. But no, you have to crimp it on. [Linked Image]

I'm sure there are some rewireable one sold in the EU. There better be....just like we have replacement two-pin plugs here in the West. Can you imagine the skinny flex of a table lamp going into a bulky plug better designed for an electric washingmachine? [Linked Image]
