Anyone know a good source for the molded plastic covers than can be installed over the plug on the end of a cord to prevent their use? I could swear I saw them in someone's woodworking catalog but the only place I've really found them is Grainger or McMaster Carr and they are rather pricey from either.

Yes, like that. Seems like someone had them a lot cheaper, but of course I wasn't in the market at the time.

A small lock thru one of the plug blades wouldn't be too expensive.
