What happens here

Once all three wires are securely attached to their respective terminals, slide the outer plastic cover of the plug back into place. Ensure it fits snugly over the wired terminals. Reinsert and tighten any remaining screws that hold the plug housing together. Repeat this entire process for the other damaged end of the extension cord, installing the second new replacement plug (if applicable). The video demonstrates one end being completed, and the final shot shows both ends repaired. The creator highlights that this repair saved approximately $40 compared to buying new cords, for a total cost of $4 for the replacement plugs.

Goal: Complete the plug assembly and ensure it is ready for use.

Tools and materials

  • Multimeter — Testing continuity and checking for shorts before first use

And repeat for the last two. All right. Now that we got our wires on, go ahead and slide this up. Go ahead and put your screws back in. Just like that we have a new plug on our extension cord. We saved ourselves probably 40 bucks by replacing two ends on both cords. $4, we saved ourselves 40. Follow for more.
