What happens here

First, take the damaged end of the extension cord. Using wire cutters, snip off the old, damaged plug cleanly. Then, approximately an inch to an inch and a half from the cut end, use the wire strippers to carefully remove the outer rubber jacketing of the extension cord, exposing the three internal insulated wires (typically black, white, and green).

Goal: Remove the old plug and expose the internal wires.

Tools and materials

  • Wire Cutters — To cut off the damaged plug and to trim excess wire
  • Wire Strippers — To remove the outer jacketing and strip the insulation from individual wires
  • Damaged Extension Cord — The cable being prepared for the new plug
