Tech: Combined UK / EU plugboard ???

One minor problem with buying discounted low price music gear
is the occasional 2 pin Euro mains plug...

Wall-warts in particular...

So I've got adapters, even a euro plug board
[which obviously requires a 3 pin adapter]..
But what I really want for convenience is a single plug board with both UK and EU sockets..

So do they exist, and what key words do I search for....???

So far I've not found anything like this on Amazon...

cheers...

Will the voltages match?

Stan - that's something I considered,
Maybe there are technical incompatibilities why this combined plugboard may not be easily available...
If at all, ever...???

I just checked, my most recent Amazon search was "plug board uk + euro sockets"...

https://www.amazon.co.uk/euro-sockets/s?k=euro+sockets

£20:99 sounds a bit steep to me but they are available.

Perhaps ask a European electrician working in the UK

Stan - cheers...

Guess what, I just shortened "euro to eu" and searched again,
then realised the small thumbprint photos have been showing a multi configurated combi socket
I didn't recognise.

I was looking for actual separate 2 and 3 pin sockets.


I seriously do neeeeed to get my eyes tested for reading lenses..


Looks like I'm ok then if I can find a good price on a reputable brand...
