Today I received a hug electric shock, and lived to tell the story.

Of course it was my own silly fault for being a cheapskate, however still a timely warning to others out there.

Have a safe day

Don't throw it away, simply glue them together or remove the SMPS from the wall wart for use inside a project's case.

Yes I agree, this is bad diesign and I was going to sat that it wouldn't happen in the UK because our plugs have insulators near the base of the prongs, then I realised that it's the US to Aus adaptor on the end of the plug which is at fault.
