In order to avoid any confusion, perhaps I should point out that the plug shown on
Frank's webpage is now shown correctly wired.
Although I prefer to use a wire-stripper myself; and would not tin the wires either.You should never tin the wires! Solder is soft, so even when you tighten the screw after a period of time the soft solder will migrate and the screw will become loose.
For medical equipment only the use of a ferrule is acceptable!In fact, you will find no product fitted with a rewireable 13A plug that does not have ferrules fitted (medical or non-medical). If in doubt open a shop bought kettle, toaster, or mains extension. If you find one without ferrules you have been buying grey imports!
