What happens here

This video provides a step-by-step guide on how to reinforce a charging cable, specifically at the connector stress point, using adhesive-lined heat shrink tubing. This technique prevents common cable fraying and breakage, extending the cable's lifespan and making it waterproof.

reinforced now stronger than ever. It's not going to bend up here anymore and it's just going to bend down there at the wire. We've all dealt with these kind of chord issues. These things, they just break easy. I feel like it's designed to break that way. But instead of buying another chord, I bought a 4-to-1 ratio shrink tubing. This is 100-piece heat shrink tubing wrap kit that I got off a Amazon. You guys are looking for something like this. You can check out my Amazon store. I'll put a link in my bio. You can check out my link tree. I actually feel like I paid more for this than I did for this whole box right here. So with the 4-to-1 shrink ratio on this, I should be able to put this on here and it'll secure up nice and tight. You just need a little heat source. I grabbed my torch. I don't know if you can see that but there's a little bit of adhesive coming out of there. These are also waterproof. Nothing's going to get in there. So looking around and a lot of these little heat shrink wraps are a 3-to-1 ratio. I was actually looking for a 5 but I couldn't find it. So 4 worked out pretty well. And now for the same price as new chord, we got all this different size shrink tubing that's going to come in handy. I went ahead and did the other side just to reinforce it. And boom, we're good at all.
