I like the new design of repairing the extension cord,in the past,you had to struggle with twisting the wires. With the new one,there is no struggle.

[@daveandsonyainmichigan]

Yes, this pretty easy!

[@murphmanin]

Perfect vid. Thanks!

[@daveandsonyainmichigan]

Thanks!

I always tin my leads when using this type of connection. Especially on something that might see a high current draw. Stranded wire tends to get loose and then we get heat and failures.

[@daveandsonyainmichigan]

I see your point, I tin a lot of my electrical connections. But I have never tinned my extension cord wires. No good reason why, just haven't. But I have also, never had any wires come loose. Now you have me thinking. I did learn many years ago that soldering causes the wire to be stiff further into the jacket and can cause issues when flexibility is needed, so I tend to solder less than I used to.

@@daveandsonyainmichigan you definitely don't want to tin them too far that the wire loses flexibility outside of the terminal.

[@daveandsonyainmichigan]

@Dean Craig I agree and learned many years ago that the solder works it way up the wires and under the jacket. Interestingly, in my EC8 cable repair video, th-cam.com/video/XkqvawNsGEE/w-d-xo.html
the connector had very little solder in the solder connector (not a crimp), and the wire broke. These connectors are hard to separate. So I soldered them in and the solder went far enough up the jacket so I can grab the wire in the palm of my hand with my pinky and the connector with my index finger and thumb and pull equally to disconnect. I just need to be careful at the point where the wire transitions from stiff to being flexible. This is now the weakest point!

This is illegal, I'm calling the cops.

LOL, I could use some free food!
