Step 15: Prongs
The Prongs are the part that make contact with the electricity from the outlet. The only metal part that is exposed are these and its terminals on the opposite side. Some prongs are polarized so that they can only enter the electric socket in one way. The holes in the prongs are slots for metal contacts in the outlet to attach to.
Fold away prongs are a interesting feature for transformers. These prevent abrasion or damage to other objects their stored and transported with. Similarly a cover preserves the metal and makes it easier to transport.
The first prong guard is a simple piece of plastic that is sometimes included with the retail package like the twisty ties.
It is also possible to make a cover using plasti-dip, scotch tape and a releasing agent such as vasoline.
