As an IT professional, I felt stupid looking this up. Thanks!

[@balibo07]

well maybe its smarter to look someting up instead of trying without a thought about it and failing

[@StephanKnotek]

As a production professional, this hurts to watch. PSA DON"T DO THIS! I was really hoping he'd show what this does to cables and sure enough, you can watch him as he has to attempt to flatten out the hard "creases" in the cable at 2:26. Use the over/under technique instead.

[@NickKartha]

Maybe this works for fabric covered cables but it's definitely not a good method for typical plastic usb wires.

[@davit_nergadze]

You're applying slight twist to the cable and eventually it'll go bad. Don't do this! Any method of rolling/wrapping a cable if it doesn't unfolds/unwraps easily and without loops and twists is a bad one.

[@AngeloLuis22]

So the solder inside or the connection will not intertwined?

[@kentamccarter9580]

It's not recommended to wrap the cable like they have it packed from the factory is it?

[@InkYAbadd0N]

I couldnt tie up these cables for some switch controller for the life of me. Thanks!

[@pmpplayz]

Same!

[@rampantbuckler818]

I have to wrap mine in a long oval
It's like two of my hands wide
And I can't figure out a way around it

[@autumnb7135]

Is it ok to charge things while a bit of the cable is coiled or is that dangerous? I have a shelf where I charge everything and so I’ve shortened some of the wires that are plugged in by coiling them a bit to keep everything tidy, but now I’m wondering if that’s safe or not?

[@NatebitLIVE]

It should be fine

[@autumnb7135]

@@NatebitLIVE thanks ☺️

[@barbarashihoka8519]

Thank you I never knew how to use the leather tie at the end of my elk in cable. Thanks

[@NPLGaming__]

Lots of stress on those cables you can see it with the bends when it is unraveled

[@kentamccarter9580]

What if the cord is made really stiff?

[@Neo.neonR3]

My cable has been packaged like this and now the cable is like spiraled how do I fix this

[@alexgamez24]

I liked this method, thanks

[@manuelstealth]

This helped alot, thank u , i ahve always struggled with packing in cables

[@shanegeorge69]

Yikes can't watch the poor cable getting strained like that. Not the right technique either it's going to wear out after a while.

[@youareworthliving]

Thank you lol I’ve always done this just without the hair tie tho

[@jonnight7075]

Awesome 👏🏽 definitely helped out

Thank u bruh ❤

Thank You Thank You So Much 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@rexybundy]

You have actually wrapped that wrong.
When you go to stretch that cable out your going to get kinks.
It should be wrapped over and then under its the same with extension cords and hoses.
Nearly every person wraps cables and hoses wrong.
Without taking any offence I think you need to look up the correct way and then re do your video.
Anyone who deals with cables or hoses would be cringing at the way your folding that phone cable.

[@oHatty]

This was amazing! Keep up the good work!

[@SpookaySpctr]

Thanks!!

[@yonosoychistoso]

Videazo!

[@Geminish15]

Not good. Causes bends and damage. Seek over under style.

[@ghostghostbusters789]

I've gotta say. If anyone needed a video for this tip, they should really take a long hard look at themselves

[@MK-lm4mh]

So why are you here? 🤔😆

[@kxevertecinc9807]

Thanks!

[@Crappy.Consumer.Reports]

Another “creator” giving garbage advice that will actually ruin your cables, what a surprise.
He proves it himself when he unravels the cable - see the mess of loops that will eventually turn into a bigger tangled mess? Each of those loops stress the cable and will eventually cause the strands to break.
It’s difficult to explain the correct method through text alone as it seems tricky for someone who’s never done it, but it’s called either “coiling” or “over-under technique (look those up).
You need to twist the cable in the opposing direction for each loop you make. This keeps the cable’s “spine” straight. If done correctly, the cable will be perfectly flat when unraveled - no loops or twists.

[@ronelfernan]

Why not rubber bands? 😊

[@paulocezarthiebaut2332]

Sorry, but this is far from a good way of wrapping cables and cords.

[@WoolleyWoolf]

That’s cheating

[@VictoriaTheBookworm]

Why is this four minutes

[@TheOnlyBastion]

"straightening the cord" and folding it just stresses the metal inside more than necessary and shortens its lifespan. i thought there would be useful information.....

[@ahfejjdjdjehdkwhdksh]

Agreed. I have the issue that I place my charging cable in my Drawer and while there might be enough space there's slight curves in my cable which i am worried about since i've had phone cables break without me even really folding them at all.
