now they are illegal to replace a broken 2 prong with a new 2 prong
you SHALL run a ground wire and replace it with a grounded receptacle
you can buy them in most stores. if you use it it will fail inspection and invalidate your fire insurance.
you can also buy #18 100' extension cords that arent grounded.
if you try to use a power saw with it chances are it wont cut thru a 2" board.
light bulbs still use a single pole threaded Edison socket so yes you can with light bulbs. there are still Edison receptacles in some old houses. they were replaced with the prong ones without grumbles because its harder to stick your fingers in em and most people don't like the tingle.
