Shoot, then you should not see the stuff that passes for wiring here. No plug, no problem, we have matches! Wiring using single core phone wire, or steel fencing wire. Glow in the dark illegal connections, complete with the earth return, and the tree insulators at chest hight using now bare wire.
There is a manufacturer of extension cords that has a reel that is rated for 15A fully wound, using a special cable with a spiral ridge on it to allow heat to dissipate and to allow air in to keep the cable cool. Comes with a 15A thermal breaker as well, and well regarded by the tradespeople, even if it is more expensive.
As to plugtops, there are cheap and nasty ones ( made from rolled sheet nickel plated brass) that I do not trust at over 2A, and other cheap ones that will happily handle 15A, even though they are rolled sheet as well, but thicker and with a better cable clamp and screw terminals. Others are solid brass ( drilled in the centre to save cost) with a decent screw connection. The moulded ones are notorious for cooking internally, and some of the chinese cords are made using 1.5mm wire for the supply leads and 1mm for the PE conductor ( 1.5mm on a good day, but generally 1mm plus a hair) that break after a short period of use.
I tend to make my own, using cable, a plugtop and an industrial socket outlet in a steel box, with a proper cable gland ( not that funny style the USA uses, these are actually waterproof to a degree) to keep the cable neat.
