My cat chewed up my landline charging cable which connects to my apt building buzzer. An important delivery will arrive in the morning and I must be able to buzz the driver in. Here I am, searching "How to Repair Broken Weirs/Cables" 5 am in the morning.😅
Great tutorial. Thank you for taking the time and effort to do it. I am a newbie in this fixing wires thing because of my puppies. Your tutorial got me through the newbie jitters and fear of ruining the cord forever.
Great question, Denis. Typically, the copper is the actual wire and the plastic/rubber shielding is just that - a shield. The shield needs to be peeled back to expose the copper, then the copper needs to be spliced to copper. If you have two wires like this in your cord, you can wrap each one individually with electrical tape and then tape the whole thing back up.
Thank you! I’m so glad I searched and found your video on repairing wires. I’ll be fixing my vacuum cleaner wire tomorrow when the wire stripper tool arrives. Thanks again, 11 years post video upload!
I usually don't comment on videos, but you just saved me at least $30-$100, the cost of replacing my laptop charger that I fixed in 30 minutes thanks to you.
Likewise, can't thank you enough! My tv cable was severed and it seemed more difficult to fix having 3 separate wires rather than the 2 and not owning those fancy wire trimming cutters. The joys of the internet and instructional videos.
Thanks for the video! Did this on my laptop charger which was cut in half and now it works perfectly fine. 5 minutes of work saved me some time and money. Thank you! This video deserves a subscriber.
Just wanted to say, an 11 year old video saved me. My rabbits chewed the cable that goes from my pedals to my steering wheel on my game racing steering wheel. It was a little scary to open the wire and discover there were six individual wires inside, but I followed these instructions and it totally works again. I couldn't find a replacement cable, so I figured I was looking at about $170 to replace the whole pedal assembly if this didn't work.
Hey thanks! Sliced through my Black & Decker trimmer adapter cord and used your video to repair it. Bought a wire stripper like yours at Canadian Tire for $4.99 and used that. Worked perfectly and took 5 minutes! Appreciate your video!!!! :)
Works like a charm. My yorkie chewed through my electric blanket cord (he is fine but in trouble)... This easily solved the problem. Thank you for your easily followed video instructions! Much appreciated. Saved me from repurchasing another $200 blanket :)
You prevented my wife from beating me... I ran over the lawn mower extension.. I went on a mad rush around town for a screw down terminal strip and failed miserably.. Your technique worked amazingly!! You save me and earned me man points!! You da man!!! :D
Thank you!!! I cut my christmas garland wire like a DUMMY right when I finished putting everything on. This tutorial helped me, I easily followed that through, and THEY WORK! One Christmas crisis averted.
If it's just wearing out and not actually broken, wrap it in electrical tape. You can also purchase wiring sleeves that you can place over the worn area and then apply heat (hair dryer) to shrink the sleeve onto the existing wire.
Cat chewed through my cordless drill charger and getting a replacement would've cost the same as getting another drill. Bought a much better corded drill, then spent a whole afternoon looking for a video on how to splice broken wires. Watched at least 5 videos before finding this one, and this is the one that finally worked. Now I have a cordless drill again!! Thank you!!!!
I should’ve watched this first. Tried to fix a box fan that’s about as old as I am, and I tripped the breakers twice, singed my fingers, melted the cables, burned the plug, and started a fire. If I haven’t completely ruined it, I will try your method in the morning. Thank you LRN2DIY.
I can't believe, but this actually works! I feel like a genius :D Thank you very very very much for this! I have bought so many new cables for all sort of things, because my rabbit keeps chewing them. Now finally I fixed one yeeeeey! :)
Hey Omar, yes - that makes it tough. You might want to consider cutting the cord on a newer, working USB cable and splicing that in. That way you don't have to touch the jack - just the cord. Good luck!
No wonder this country is in trouble... all these people needed this guy to show them how to reconnect a wire?? it's an everyday use of common sense to do these kind of things... wow!! good job dough bro we need more people like you in our planet.
Nate Muir I was looking for a video on how to connect a ELAU Pac-drive to diagnose a SSP2 and this popped up on the results! but of course I don't expect for you to even know what I'm talking about. But I'm glad dumb asses like yourself are watching videos like this. you can learn something here.
Nate Muir lol! manners... I was just amazed on how people actually can't connect two fucking wires together. if a man can't connect two wires together, well guess what? your not a man. you sound like a Hillary supporter... lol#
I'm too afraid to plug in my device in case I did something wrong and electrocute myself or it doesn't work! Ok, here goes nothing... IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG I'M SO HAPPY THANK YOU!!! :) You can't tell how happy I am but I am oVeR ThE MoOn!!!!! :)
Thank you thank you thank you. I was mowing the lawn when I snipped the wired, thanks to this video I was able to fix it. Thank you internet and you youtube!
It should work, yes, but keep in mind that the wires won't be as cleanly separated and may be separated by small nylon looking threads. I haven't tried it on that cable but it'd be worth a try!
I fixed the left speaker attached to the subwoofer. There was a smaller rubber with wires within a bigger one but I managed to fix it anyway. These are good quality speakers and I dont have to throw them out anymore 😀
The tip about matching the wires was mighty helpful...sometimes the distinction between the positive wire and negative isn't clear enough...but if you look closely you'll see it...
Am i the only one who came here because my rat bit through my phone charger? Thanks for this video, the instructions were really clear! c: i was able to fix it. Thanks Nils! :D♡
Thanks for this video. I was able to repair my box fan cord that had frayed. Instead of spending $18 - $25 on new one (they aren't $12 anymore), I spent $1 on a roll of electrical tape.
instead of having to mess about bending wires back on themselves and double wrap etc why not just stagger the positive and negative connections so theyre an inch or so apart (at slightly different points along the cable). that way there is no physical possibility of them coming into contact and therefore less reliance on dreaded electrical tape as an insulator.
Thank you. A squirrel chewed through the cable for my solar powered light in the summerhouse. Watched this video and 10 minutes later I had a fully functioning light again.
Thanks my friends 3DS charger lost some of its rubber casing and its wires snapped and i have a small tool kit with basic tools and came with a knife so thank god you made this video otherwise i would not be able to fix is 3DS charger!
Great video dude, really helped. I was wondering though, do you have any other experience in wiring. For a certain project for school I need to wire two completely different appliances together, do you have any tips or hints that could help me with that?
+jack62397 That really depends on what appliances you need to join and how. If it's just a matter of connecting wires, then the principles in this video still apply - expose some wire, join the two wires and then cover them completely back up. I suspect, however, that what you need is more involved.
Nils Rasmusson Sorry for the late response, and thanks a lot for helping out. So basically for a engineering project I am required to use a smoke detector to send a signal to some sort of mechanism (Haven't figured that out yet) and then the mechanisms turns off an appliance.
+jack62397 Hard to know exactly what you'll need to do but I can tell you that hard wired smoke detectors use three wires - a black (power), white (neutral) and red (signal). The Red wire carries a 9 volt signal to other connected smoke detectors when it's going off. I'd recommend using the red wire to connect to your appliance but rather than making it turn the appliance on, you'd have to figure out how to use it as an off switch. I don't know much more than that, but good luck!

Thank you LRN2DIY.
I'd never done this before. It was just as I imagined, but, I appreciated being able to confirm that!! Thanks so much.

You're a bloody legend mate.

English?
That’s a good idea.
That's a great idea... But won't you have to make the wire shorter for that?
I'm too clueless to visualize or know what you mean . sigh.
