Buy a quality in line junction, do not buy the cheapest as the junction inside will have very soft screws
open the tool and replace the cable from the internal connection & while you are at it make the flex slightly longer.
As a professional MOD prototype wireman ….. I can suggest a good ( safe ! ) alternative …. loosely slide on two diameters of ADHESIVE LINED heatshrink tubing … prepare the broken wire and tin the ends with 60/40 solder … slide on smaller diameters of heatshrink tubing onto these tails ( or .. two pieces of glassfibre electrical tubing ) …. solder all the correct wires to each other , then insulate with the small bits of tubing on the tails …. wrap the assembly in glassfibre adhesive tape to the correct diameter … then … heat shrink the two outer layers of ADHESIVE LINED tubing … allow to fully cool … and you have a STRONG waterproof joint , without the BULK of these excellent joining tubes .. ( tried – n – tested , many times ) . DAVE™🛑
Nice one! No nonsense explanation, cheers. Oh btw, showing yourself placing parts in order on each wire may help us oldies. 😊 Just saying, keep us on our toes.
Ha ha ha, "get an electrician and pay them a load of money for something that's really easy." Love it mate.
Great info there. Im a lecky and when i looked at the screwfix info i found those given sizes most confusing. They should state the mm2 sizes not the diameter of the outer sheath of perhaps both. Well done.
It's not 4 mm squared, it's 4 square mm. But you will never have such a large size cable on a 13A plug. Even 2.5mm2 is highly unusual and would suggest a long lead.
Here from Rag n brown. Great content, I'll be following.
solder and heatstrink on flex is alot more better or alternatively fully rewiring the appliance with an entire new flex if you can get access inside
Loving the endings nowadays. What's the algorithm saying now your doing it? Better stats?
Just need a wago one now
I love the humour combined with good importation.
so glad I discovered this channel Aiden, by far my favourite on YouTube!
ratings for the cable will vary depending if its solid core or stranded etc, you will often find it will tell you the gauge on the cable itself.
Not quite the same thing, but related, , i had to rewire a two part in line plug my stepdad had installed on a garden power line, with the male end connected to power😂 I guess some people just don't get electricity
Cheers Aiden, can we have a vid with Lou giving you a bollocking at some point?
Screwfix are ridiculously expensive imho, don't know how they stay in business,, I still prefer the twist it and loads of tape method,, 😅
Just replace the cable completely if it's on a power tool, no point messing with joints.
Ok I conceed, these odd jobs definitely need doing.
Job done ✔️
