The Dremel: An Essential Tool for the International Traveller

Left: Original Travel Adapter with safety tabs (left and right) to prevent use with grounded plugs

Middle: Modified Travel Adapter with safety tabs removed (using a Dremel)

Right: A grounded plug that can now be inserted into the modified adapter

Note: Use of the modified adapter is not recommended with any essential equipment you don't want to see fried. But any equipment you bring on a trip isn't essential anyway.
