I just need to convert my foreign plug to a US one and this did the job. I could have gone for a smaller specific one but this gives me flexibility. The Us plug is slighty loose though and does not fit in real snug. Price is just about right and this is useful for people who travel all over the world.

This particular travel adapter, however, is one of my favorites. It'll support US/European/UK plugs - so you can use your US devices, along with others while abroad - making it a hit in hostels or anywhere where you have international guests who need to share power outlets. <br /> <br />The green "lock/unlock" switch at the top is a nice touch, if anything - it shoots the plugs out with a good amount of force. Plus, locking the plugs outward is a great idea. I've had some more expensive adapters that don't lock, so pushing them into the wall causes them to recess back into the adapter, sort of defeating the purpose of having it work correctly. <br /> <br />At this price, you should buy two in case you lose or forget one. I've been carrying two for a while, and always end up donating one to a fellow traveler who lost/forgot theirs for a beer or two. At this price, any traveler (even if you leave the country once a year) can't afford to be without one. I tend to lose/forget a number of adapters while abroad, so I’ve got experience with these.

It was great and well worth the cost. Great item to carry with you for any international traveler. This adapter is all you need with maybe one small 2 prong adapter.

But it works in Peru, Columbia and Brazil. Be careful, treat it as the cheap plastic import it is, and it should continue to work. Yes, as others have commented, it’s delicate.

From the size of the pins I am not sure whether I can use it in India. I am returning to India. From the size of the pins I am not sure whether I can use it in India.
