thank you i have just done that to my lawnmover and was going to buy a new one but now i have order cable connector, Thank very informative
I cut through the wire of my lawnmower yesterday oops. I ordered the connector and they change the design i was like oh no but your calm voice helped me to get the job done and saved me buying a new lawnmower. Thankyou 😊.
Fantastic, yet so simple. Someone deserves an award for this excellent design. Excellent presentation, too. ☺️
Brill, this is just what I was looking for, ran over my cable - my excuse is the grass was so long after nearly 5 weeks of rain. I was thinking of getting a new cable but this is just what I need. Excellent presentation
Glad to help. We've had a ridiculous amount of rain lately so I'd blame it too 🤣
Can't believe you grassed me up! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Brilliant Rob, I'll defo have more confidence doing it myself IF there's a next time 👍🏻
I didn't grass you up did I??? 🧐
Thanks for the steer fella -- did exactly the same thing with my lawn mower cable. Doh! The spectre of shelling out on a new mower led me to your video.
I agree, a really clear, concise and helpful presentation. You’re a ‘natural’ presenter1 that puts the listener at ease!
That's good to know.

What annoys me is the way flymo cables break internally with no external signs of where the break is. I'm really careful not to cut through it while cutting, but I've got such a big lawn and it gets a fair bit of stress. I'm finding they break inside after two or three years just through normal use, normally it is near the point where the cable enters the mower, but it can be anywhere.
I should sleep easily now; having cut my lawnmower cable today when doing my neighbours' garden.
Let me know how you got on.

@@spendtimesavemoneydiy It works perfectly.
@@user-oy6ng1bh3g great to hear 👍🏼
Hello Mate, thank you for this. I bought the connector from the link you left. Although it was slightly different, the logic was the same. I connected the cables through it and when I plugged in, the fuses went off and I think I burned the socket. What do you think I did wrong? :)
Edit: I connected the wires wrong.:) I am leaving this for everyone else who did the same. Thank you for the video and the link to the product mate. Worked like a charm.
Thank you for your honesty. It's not advisable to connect the wrong wires together.

Thanks
Thank you, very much appreciated
Which make connector you are using please, will help ? Any amp etc.
Are they avaliable in B&Q etc
thank you for this tutorial, seems simple and like others have had it work, however mine still isn't working, not sure if i need more wire to fit into the connector or if there could be something else thats wrong with it. I stupidly left mine out over night and the foxes ate through the cable
There's very little nutritional value in electric wire. Somebody should tell the foxes.
Cheers
Glad you found my video useful.

The link forthe cable connector takes you to a 3 pin connector. I got no neutral and the package came without instructions. What to do ?
Thanks hope these are available in U.K.
They are available in the UK that's where the video was made 👍🏼
My friend did this too...what a clown. I have passed your instructions on to him so I don't embarrass him I wont mention his name.
Maybe a silly question but do the wires need to actually touch inside the connectors before they are screwed down? Should I make sure they are overlapping? Thanks
No the connector will connect the wires without them touching 👍🏼
No such thing as a silly question, you don't know until you know and asking is the quickest way to find out.
Let me know how you get on
The connectors I ordered were rubbish. No screws for securing good. Got a decent one from a local hardware shop and had the job done in minutes as I’d already prepped the wires. You get what you pay for. Thanks for your help. I didn’t really understand the connecter theory until I opened it!
Is the cable connector in the video the same as the one linked below the video? And are there any cable cutter alternatives for the one also linked below because it looks like they're out of stock, thank you!
The connectors are different but do the same job and are cheaper. Here's a link to the cable cutters

@@spendtimesavemoneydiy thank you so much!! I'm also going to repair my lawn mower cable when it arrives, and thank you for the great video!
I've always used scissors to be honest, have to be careful not to cut the cable with them though.
thank you :) @@denisehales1060
we ended up doing it beautifully but forgot to turn off the electric and got electrocuted and then the lawn mower never switched on again so we bought another one :)
I tried this and it just isn’t working- so frustrating!
This has restored power, but shorts the house when I plug it in.
Any ideas what’s going on here?
Good job ..some diy,ers. on you tube...solder and heat shrink...their wrong...solder is brittle...proper inline IP67. or. IP68... Only way...
From wall plug to the lawn mower, the charging plug-in with the wire is broken,so the mower can't be charged , is any people can help! please!
Would I need to replace the fuse?
Ta la.
Cable you say...
What if we just celotape them together
I know a woman who thought that would work. Don't know why I stated she was a woman but she was. A woman.
Nice fix.
Happened to me, mowed over the strimmer cable, but used a two pin orange connector, smaller than those ones, and same colour as the cable, with the advantage of being able to disconnect, and roll up the cable separate to the strimmer.
Yeah the in-line plugs work well too but I thought for the sake of the video the connector was more simple.

I’m not sure quite how to fix my electrical mower. I was mowing the yard when all of a sudden the mower stopped and wouldn’t turn back on. When I checked I noticed the wire got caught or trapped in between the handle, closer down to the mower. Basically it wasn’t ran over like most people actually do. The main cord or cover was exposed and I could see different color wires in it. A red one, green, white and black. All wires are fine except the black one. It’s barely sliced and I can see the copper wires exposed. I’d hate to cut all of those colored wires to connect to a cable connector just for one black cord barely sliced. Any suggestions? Hope my description makes sense 😔
