Old problems with outlets/connectors/voltage

Hi again.

In my business, I have to visit costumers every day. Of course, they dont have the same equipment/installation in their companies/homes. So, everyday I have to deal with different outlet styles, like that:

Another problem is the voltage. Some of them use 110v, others 220v. Most of them have both in their companies and I have to be careful to not burn equipments. So, I have to take some voltage meter and adapters to be sure what voltage its there. I have some equipments (just a few) to do that:

Last month, I found an interesting device, which is helping us a lot. Here it is:

Take a look in how much outlets I can plug it:

And in the female side, I can use this:

And the better thing: It can show what voltage is in the outlet! Look this:

So, It solved a lot of problems which I had when I went to a costumer. It doesnt matter what outlet/connector/voltage he/she has, I always can connect devices with security. I dont know why I waited so much time to buy one of them. I even could find a lot of different styles of it for cheap prices. In fact, I bought several to me and my technicians.

I think you can find it in any good electronic store. I bought it from an online site for a good price and free shipping. I dont know if its allowed to post links here, so, if you need it, just asked me.

But I dont know how resistant connects are. I will have to wait some months to have a better test. And this device is not a converter 110/220, it just shows the voltage, be careful!

I think fixing computer is an easy task if you have the right tool, hehehe. Thats it. :D

EDIT: Ahhh, I bought if for $6.00 from http://www.budgetgadgets.com

No, Its does not invert the voltage. It just shows if voltage is 110v or 220v.

And it does not change the frequency too. Its a hard task to a so small tool like this.
