How to Fix / Repair Broken Wires, Cords and Cables

If you have a wire, cord or cable that has been cut, frayed or otherwise made difficult, it's fairly easy to fix. You'll just need some scissors or a blade and some electrical tape. Best of luck and feel free to ask any questions you might have.

This is perfect! One of my cats occasionally chews up an expensive cord when she gets in a mood. This trick will save me a lot of money. I can't thank you enough!

I wonder how many people are here because their effin' rabbit keeps chewing all their damned stuff lol

Great tutorial. Thank you for taking the time and effort to do it. I am a newbie in this fixing wires thing because of my puppies. Your tutorial got me through the newbie jitters and fear of ruining the cord forever.

Thanks so much! You just saved my $190 hair dryer! I fixed it!

Great question, Denis. Typically, the copper is the actual wire and the plastic/rubber shielding is just that - a shield. The shield needs to be peeled back to expose the copper, then the copper needs to be spliced to copper. If you have two wires like this in your cord, you can wrap each one individually with electrical tape and then tape the whole thing back up.

I usually don't comment on videos, but you just saved me at least $30-$100, the cost of replacing my laptop charger that I fixed in 30 minutes thanks to you.

Thank you! I’m so glad I searched and found your video on repairing wires. I’ll be fixing my vacuum cleaner wire tomorrow when the wire stripper tool arrives.

Thanks again, 11 years post video upload!

Thanks for the video! Did this on my laptop charger which was cut in half and now it works perfectly fine. 5 minutes of work saved me some time and money. Thank you! This video deserves a subscriber.

Thank you!!! I cut my christmas garland wire like a DUMMY right when I finished putting everything on. This tutorial helped me, I easily followed that through, and THEY WORK! One Christmas crisis averted.

Just wanted to say, an 11 year old video saved me. My rabbits chewed the cable that goes from my pedals to my steering wheel on my game racing steering wheel. It was a little scary to open the wire and discover there were six individual wires inside, but I followed these instructions and it totally works again. I couldn't find a replacement cable, so I figured I was looking at about $170 to replace the whole pedal assembly if this didn't work.

Hey thanks!  Sliced through my Black & Decker trimmer adapter cord and used your video to repair it. Bought a wire stripper like yours at Canadian Tire for $4.99 and used that. Worked perfectly and took 5 minutes!  Appreciate your video!!!!  :)

Works like a charm. My yorkie chewed through my electric blanket cord (he is fine but in trouble)... This easily solved the problem. Thank you for your easily followed video instructions! Much appreciated. Saved me from repurchasing another $200 blanket :)

I'm here for a project of mine. It was super helpful and saved my sanity, thank you so much!!! If it didn't get fixed I would have flipped out.
