As excited as anyone can really get about three-phase 415 volt five-pin extension leads, our chums at the Hire Supply Company have announced a new range that comes in three different lengths.

The new leads are available with 16 and 32 Amp plugs and couplers - a more fulsome selection of connectors is coming soon, we're told. Meanwhile, the new leads come in handy ten and 25 metre lengths, with a shorter five metre option also on the way.

Other benefits are minimal, as you might expect. However, a robust construction, an inoffensive colour scheme and sturdy H07 RN-F cable will do the job nicely, thanks.
