Because I have a case of Coopers and I want to use them up. All three of my vacs had chewed up/bent blades.
If you buy a plug to make a cheater, just make sure you mark it somehow so you know the hot and neutral are reversed.
If you try one of those Ace Hardware cheaters and discover that reversal does in fact reduce the hum, it might be better to reverse the wiring inside your amp.
Using the cheapo cheater is also a good time to test the orientation which provides the least on chassis voltage, using the volt scale and connecting the red (+) lead to the chassis and the black (-) lead to ground (the third lug) at your outlet.
