Great video, thanks. Just a note that some stagger the lengths of the cuts so that they are not in the same field point which seems like a good idea.

Great fix, thanks very much.

Oh, and by the way, as an English teacher I feel compelled to mention that the word 'solder' is pronounced ''sodder'. 😉

Great tutorial. But geez, by the time I buy all the necessary tools, liquid tape, etc., I could easily buy another cord and then some. The tutorial is so clear however that I will probably try to find a workaround for all the various tools used.

Probably cheaper to buy a new cord since I do not own any of those tools. 😂

Great video!

Thats one of the best fixes I’ve seen, great job

Heat shrink around the smaller wires would be much less messy and much faster. Great thorough video however and you explained everything well.

This is an excellent video. Thank you for creating such a great tutorial!

Well crafted video.

It's pronounced SAW-DER

Sole der? Seriously? It's pronounced "sodder". I had to stop watching. Have you never heard anyone use the word before?

very thorough presentation! great pace, presentation style, and content.

I am so frustrated with the mold growing in the exterior wall of my flat. Only yesterday my husband and I cleaned the mold but I know it will grow back and we have to make this a regular cleaning... In the past, we used the mold resistance wall painting but with the exterior bedroom wall they grew back again. Thank you so much for sharing this video. I really needed this and appreciate your sharing. Thank you.

Cords are best replaced or shortened as the repair will be much weaker, but for personal use or in emergencies (it's an OSHA hit for good reason so know that before deciding) we've all done it. Noobs beware because house fires are inconvenient so do it soundly or not at all. When I damage a drop cord worth fixing I just add a decent plug/receptacle and make two out of one. Then if the cord is damaged again it's already "wearing" the repair parts. The handy flip side is if you work for a business with strict safety rules they have to discard lots of repairable bits and pieces. For example in the military before inspections lots of "stuff" gets thrown away as big outfits lose money repairing anything worth less than the time lost doing it. I was given a couple hundred feet of SOOW cable extension cord because it was not commercially made (liability issue) and did not conform to any technical order requirement. (Before considering this wasteful remember one spark in the wrong place can burn down an aircraft.) Happy repairs and scrounging, but think first and play safe!

thank you very much!! Nice straight forward video perfect for what i needed

Solder,lol

Best, cleanest video on extension cord repair...Kudos!

Thank you this video! Very helpful.

With all the stuff he uses to fix it, you could just go out and buy a new cord. Many people have little or no tool kit. How about just a knife and some electrical tape.

Excellent Thanks

I hope it was unplugged when chewed through.

I was always taught to stagger the cuts and joins, so if your tape (liquid tape, here) isn't adequate, you can't get a short. Having all three cuts and joins all exactly aligned is like a belt without suspenders. I mean, your pants really shouldn't fall down, but it's better to have both, just in case!

You should be removing that baseboard and checking behind as well.

Dude !! the L is silent Cringy as fuck hearing it prounounced with the L. Repeat after me, "SODDER"

Thank you. This is way more satisfying than the stupid videos my kids watch.

THe baseboards are hiding mold as well so I think is necessary to remove them to get to the base of the wall. I had discovered a leak coming from the foundation of my house to the basement of one particular wall from top to bottom. Thank god it was on a wall that did not have any electrical behind it. But it was still a very expensive fix as the one wall had to be removed, insulation had to be removed, and the 2 x 4's gutted. And the foundation also had to be fixed to further avoid reoccurring mold.

You need to cut a small section of wall out and check behind walls you have a moisture problem behind it.
