Indeed, when (as I think was usually the case) the cover is rubber. I have to confess that I probably still have some around that have been subjected to that 'remedial treatment' in the distant past!!

Not worked on 5pin bigger than 32A and they can be a right beggar if the wires are not in the correct order in the cable. There's less relative space in the bigger 5pin plugs which make them much harder.
Oh yes.... it doesn't take you long to realise, when making up 125A extns with 35mm2 HR07 that you need to find out the layout of the cable & put the plug & coupler on the 'right' ends
Yes - I still have a stack of 15A TRS extension leads with Duraplugs that have that very useful modification.

Afaict the 13A and 15A MK duraplugs were redesigned so that the cable no longer passed through the top, but the 5A ones still use the original design (though it's possible they have been discontinued,they are still listed on the MK website, but I can't seem to find anywhere that has them in stock new).At a much lower, hence less catastrophic, level, there used to be (haven't seen one for years) those wretched BS1363 plugs with a 'plug top' (correct usage, for once
That all sounds reasonable. As I said, it's years since I've seen one (other than those I already have) which had the cable passing through the top.
