How To Fix An Extension Cord - Easy DIY Repair

Extension Cord End with BOTH ends: amzn.to/3D7DS09

[@tommarucci7381]

This is one of the best videos I’ve seen and used.

[@grannywarrior]

Nice tutorial. Straight to the point, easy to follow.

[@FrisellFan01]

I just got done fixing one of my extension cords with the very same end you used in this video....thanks

[@echt114]

The most useful thing in here was showing what was called the "pinch plate" and the wire going underneath it. If you've never done this before, you might think the screw head goes directly onto the wire, but sticking it under the plate makes things easier.

Thanks so much, from a do-it-yourself Meme' (grandmother). I have a VERY long, heavy duty (yes expensive) extension cord for my electric mower which my neighbor borrowed and ran over. Thankfully it was injured fairly close to the end of the cord so, once repaired, I will still have enough length to reach the parameters of my lawn. I feel confident now, after watching! This is on today's TO-DO list for sure! :)

[@DoItYourselfDad]

Bummer about the cord, you got this!

[@TheNetGuy]

Great job! This is an easy DIY project for most people which can be done safely and saves an expensive cord! Love your content! 🎉

[@DoItYourselfDad]

Thank you sir! Just checked out your channel, you've got some quality stuff up there (and a quality beard to boot!)

[@brawleytj]

Thanks for the clear directions!

[@blkberry1234]

Thank you sooooo much!!!!

[@makersandbreakers6612]

Great video. And good too to make sure you unplug the chord from the receptacle. 😂

[@artriumph]

Great video. I need to replace the male end on a heavy duty 3 prong extension cord. I noticed the ground wire is pink instead of green. Is that common? Thank you.

[@DoItYourselfDad]

Interesting, I’ve been run into a pink ground.

[@Leonardokite]

I always use an exacto knife and run it down the length of the outer sheath for 1 in and then go around the circumference from there. That way I avoid cutting the insulation on the wires. That requires less talent dexterity wise which I am very lacking in hahaha

[@DoItYourselfDad]

[@Sputnik2020]

Nice

[@mcchap5619]

Thank you.

[@DoItYourselfDad]

You're welcome!

[@virginiamichel3112]

very nice! Easy to understand. I accidently caught my extension cord in a hedge trimmer!! However, that new end you showed us doesn't look like it will fit into the reciptical end of the trimmer. Can you use another smaller plug? Thanks in advance.

[@DoItYourselfDad]

I’d use a repair splice in that situation, you would then retain the original plug end.

[@virginiamichel3112]

Thanks for all your help! The 1 you suggested is working just fine!

[@DoItYourselfDad]

@@virginiamichel3112 Awesome!

[@glenwest6079]

Great video, I wanted to know how would I replace my security cameras wires. I have old wires running from inside of my house to the cameras on the outside. I wanted to replace the cameras and maybe use the old wires so it would be easier but not sure because the old wires couldn't handle the new cameras. Thank you for your great information and videos

[@makersandbreakers6612]

If they are low voltage wires you should be able to run them for the new camera. If your new camera needs romax wires you’d have to pull the old ones and fish new wire through.

Hey I have a question on your Apple CarPlay video you said if I didn’t have a aux port I can connect the unit to my car via Bluetooth and would I be able to connect my phone to the unit for CarPlay all while it’s set up to the unit

[@DoItYourselfDad]

Yes it would, in your case you would have the unit connect to your phone via Bluetooth, then have the unit broadcast to your radio in your car through the FM radio. The unit transmits on an FM channel and you set your radio to that channel.

[@tselangoeramothibe5340]

Which one is live /earth

[@JTstuff1]

Ouch I wish you would have said to unplug the extension cord first, it freaking shocked me. Lol jk nice video dude

[@randygomez952]

Can I replace my cord that has a GFI switch to a regular pigtail like the one you have on your video as long as the same voltage

[@DoItYourselfDad]

You can, but you're sacrificing safety by removing the GFI.

[@etasneem]

how about a 12g extension cord that got cut off away from the plug and now does not work. How to properly connect 2 ends of the wire which is middle of the extension cord.

[@proddarunner]

Do you no longer need an underwrighters knot?

[@DoItYourselfDad]

Not with the clamp on these style of cord ends.

[@fixdiymobile]

Ok

[@johndevilbiss6607]

No colors on the socket plug!

[@rachelcooper371]

I just repaired both ends of my extension cord with the same plugs😊
