I'm also an electrician. I tried to get my son into it, but he threw a fit and said he hates electricity. Naturally I was shocked; he got pretty charged, so I grounded him until he could conduct himself properly. Sometimes it hertz to see your kid not want to follow in your footsteps. But I think he's coming around. Not putting up as much resistance these days.

[@parti-gyle6466]

Can't fault you for your analysis. That said, I don't wish to cause any impedance to this discussion, so I'll remain neutral.

Naturally I was shocked LoL

I’m 50. I’ve done this dozens of times in my life. But the older I get and the less I do it , the more I get unsure of myself. Thank you for this. You and your video is a blessing to more people than you probably realize.

NICE! FINALLY SOMEONE WHO IS NOT JABBERING AWAY ABOUT NONSENSE AND OR FULL OF THEMSELVES. THIS GUY IS THE EXAMPLE EVERYONE SHOULD FOLLOW! SIMPLE, CLEAR, NO ANNOYING VOICE, STRAIGHT TO THE POINT AND INFORMATIVE. THANK GOD AND THANK THIS GUY FOR BEING REAL.

[@natelarge]

thanks friend

[@christineconrad2175]

This was on point. I watched, went the hardware store, came home and 15 min later had a new plug on my extension cord. Thank you very much!

[@Bosshaug29]

Just what was needed. Simple - straightforward. Easy. Thanks!

[@relvingonzalez]

If you are testing a power strip, remember you will not get continuity on the hot/black wire until you flip the “reset” switch

[@samg.r.4387]

Thank you for added safety checks. I never thought I’d try to replace a plug instead of buying a new vacuum but life has all kinds of little surprises for us. Thanks Teach!

[@natelarge]

Glad to help

[@taraholt4309]

Fantastic video and very well explained. I was recently given a cord for my pond that needed a new end placed on it and this video definitely was informative. I have great confidence I can fix this cord without ANY screwups!!! LOL

[@robbieduxbury9445]

This was a wonderful video. I was able to replace the plug on my weedeater by myself in about 10 minutes with no help! Thank you for posting this.

[@donaldthomas3445]

Thanks man, I was a little apprehensive about replacing the plug on my appliance, but your directives were simple and easy to follow and everything turned out just great. Again, thanks Nate.

[@natelarge]

Great to hear!

[@dngdesignz1564]

Huge Thanks!
Your teaching was amazing!
It was my first time putting one together, and you walked me thru it perfectly!

[@garyodle5663]

Really helpful. I'm getting ready to repair an extension cord and I wasn't sure what color wires went where. This solved it for me.

[@bobashley771]

Thank you for this. I have done this many times when I was between 10 and 15. Never knew about the wires needing to go to the correct screw.

[@christianlombardo14]

Thank you for detailing how the wire colors match with the screws colors! This is what was looking for!

[@dundizzle93]

Thanks for this. Saved me buying a new extension cord due to a worn-out plug end. First time ever changing a plug, all works well!

[@colinh.3252]

Thanks this was a big help. I just successfully changed my appliance's power cord plug with the aid of this video.

[@francissheller989]

Absolutely perfect video for what I’m doing. So professionally done…the video itself and the electrical task. Thanks!

[@StackCityCards]

Perfect for what I needed, dang plug broke off for my pond waterfall! Very easy to follow video. Thanks!

Thank you so much. My husband isn’t home, and my extension cord needs fixed lol, so this video saved me 😃

Similar situation. Husband is excellent handyman but I will have to wait 6 months ;) I love learning new things and your video is great!

Wow. This was the most informative HAND I've ever taken instructions from.

Just replaced the 3-prong plug on my treadmill tonight thanks to your video. Thank you! 🔌

[@oscarjetson128]

Thanks for the advice!

[@RyanTaylor3D]

Super helpful and perfectly explained. Thanks so much!

[@richardwieder885]

This is some good knowledge that ALL tradesman need. In larger commercial job sites it can be easy for accidents to happen. I turned in extension cords one day after installing sheet metal panels. One came in without the ground, and the other had a section caught on a closed door.
We had another situation where someone managed to simply cut our extension cord by mistake. I approached two nice electricians who replaced the plug end for us. I find a lot of fulfillment in being a tradesman because in every project, everyone wins when everyone cooperates.

[@natelarge]

Thanks for sharing. I appreciate your comment. Tradesmen are important.

[@BB-lx7os]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

Just had someone cut my cord. Googled what I need and watched your video, it was very helpful because I was trying to wrap the site around the screw, then I saw on the video the little slots under the screw and viola I did it. Thank you very much.

Perfect video! Clearly explained and easy to follow! Thank you!

[@Corporal_D]

Thanks, had to put a plug on a wire coming out of a spot lamp i hadn't seen in about 20 years. Since that was probably the last time I had been up in my attic. I would often wonder what the heck I did with it, it always came in handy doing odd jobs around the house and getting under the cars. Didn't want to ruin an extension cord so I grabbed one of these this morning at the hardware store. Wanted to be sure I was wiring it correctly. Thanks again.

Thank you always get confused on which wire goes where but the way You explained that black is brass that makes it so much easier to remember thank you very much for this video happy holidays

[@clarencealexander1093]

Where are the punctuation marks? I could barely read this.

[@discofriend8522]

Hot black goes to brass! .. That is what I came for. Couldn't remember it. So neutral to the silver, hot to the brass and ground to the green. I liked. Nice job.

Thanks great video!

[@elizabethj238]

Thanks! I just noticed my convection oven plug and outlet were extremely warm while using (I always unplug when not in use). Anyhow, I read that the culprit is likely a cheap / weak connection inside the plug, so I will replace the plug and save my little oven.

[@markanderson8677]

I was blowing snow and chopped through a 50 ft. 14 gauge extension cord we use to keep the bird bath water from freezing. This is a great video on how ot get it right - I never thought of using a multi-meter to test for continuity. A 50 ft. cord is now an 11ft ft cord and a 39 ft cord. I also need to find a better solution than runnig the cord across our sidewalk. Thanks!

[@shirleyfiscus1113]

Thank you!

[@louieep3400]

Thanks for the vid bro !! Really helped me out 😃

Nate, Thank you very much for showing the correct and LEGAL way to repair an extension cord. Respectfully, Kevin

[@kitblue3194]

I didn't know there was an illegal or wrong way to do it, which way is that?

[@monstersofthemidway7125]

I like your suggestion to buy/use replacement ends that are steel rather than plastic. It is almost aways better to spend a little more money up front so you avoid REWORK later on down the road. Nice video.

[@rs4425]

so well done.. thank you sir.. THIS is what most people need.
