Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
I've used them in a pinch to run a circuit on a generator, but it can be really dangerous in several ways.
You flip the breaker off and plug the generator into one of the outlets on the circuit using one of these and it'll power the rest of the circuit.
But pretty often the generator will put out a lot more amps than the wire in the wall is designed for, and you've bypassed the breaker. If you hook up too many devices you can draw too much current for the wires and start a fire.
