Amongst the equipment which I inherited from my late father were a couple of 13A 3-core extension leads - one about 45' long, the other 75', so quite useful in my long garden! I checked them carefully for any sign of mechanical damage and also re-made the connections into the plugs and sockets to ensure all was firm and undamaged.
But....both have rubber-insulated flexes. Given their likely age, should I just be pragmatic and dump them as a potential safety hazard, or is that too drastic and they might be worth keeping?
