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.

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.

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 :)

Cat chewed through my cordless drill charger and getting a replacement would've cost the same as getting another drill. Bought a much better corded drill, then spent a whole afternoon looking for a video on how to splice broken wires. Watched at least 5 videos before finding this one, and this is the one that finally worked. Now I have a cordless drill again!! Thank you!!!!

Great tutorial!! Helped fix our baby monitor charger that my cat chewed! Hubby was at work & you helped me do it all by myself! Thanks!

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!!!! :)

Thank you thank you thank you. I was mowing the lawn when I snipped the wired, thanks to this video I was able to fix it. Thank you internet and you youtube!

Thank you for your video it was refreshingly straight forward without all of the dribble. Easy to follow and directly related to the search.

If it's just wearing out and not actually broken, wrap it in electrical tape. You can also purchase wiring sleeves that you can place over the worn area and then apply heat (hair dryer) to shrink the sleeve onto the existing wire.

I should’ve watched this first. Tried to fix a box fan that’s about as old as I am, and I tripped the breakers twice, singed my fingers, melted the cables, burned the plug, and started a fire. If I haven’t completely ruined it, I will try your method in the morning. Thank you LRN2DIY.

I'd never done this before. It was just as I imagined, but, I appreciated being able to confirm that!! Thanks so much.

Thanks for this video. I was able to repair my box fan cord that had frayed. Instead of spending $18 - $25 on new one (they aren't $12 anymore), I spent $1 on a roll of electrical tape.

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.

I'm too afraid to plug in my device in case I did something wrong and electrocute myself or it doesn't work! Ok, here goes nothing... IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG I'M SO HAPPY THANK YOU!!! :) You can't tell how happy I am but I am oVeR ThE MoOn!!!!! :)

Hey Omar, yes - that makes it tough. You might want to consider cutting the cord on a newer, working USB cable and splicing that in. That way you don't have to touch the jack - just the cord. Good luck!

instead of having to mess about bending wires back on themselves and double wrap etc why not just stagger the positive and negative connections so theyre an inch or so apart (at slightly different points along the cable). that way there is no physical possibility of them coming into contact and therefore less reliance on dreaded electrical tape as an insulator.

great. another simple video on splicing...what about those of us who need to fix a cord that's detached from the cable end??

Question: If i need to adjust the length of the wire, can i use a pair of scissors to shorten the wire i would be repairing?

I think i may have a freyed house wire somewhere inside the wall. I think its one of the wires going from the outlets in one of the bedrooms to the breaker box. Is there a way to have this fixed without tearing apart the drywall? I would really rather not have to deal with that if there is another way. There is a loud tick sound that occures from within the wall every time the compressor on my mini fridge kickes in. At first I was under the impression it was the mini fridge causing problems but now I'm thinking its a house wring problem reacting to the amp draw from the mini fridge when it turns on & off.

I accidentally cut my friends electric dog wire and his dad almost killed me

You sir are the Einstein of wire splicing

Great vid, but what about the other type of adapter wires, where is one cable and when you cut it open, there's copper inside, then another shielded wire with copper inside it? How do you go about repairing those? Is the otter copper wire just a shield?

I recently was curious to know what happens if you don’t know which wires to reconnect if they are the same color and are doubled-joined (the positive to positive and negative to negative). What happens if you reverse connect the wires and when plugged? Does AC voltage have any polarity?

Morning Nils, Kristina from Australia here. I have question, i have just recently brought out a Hi -fi system after 8yrs in storage,and i have a problem with one of the speakers. The once exposed wires look as if it has been soldered and formed into a little ball making it impossible to put into the outlet. I have a fair idea how to fix, but can you give me your advice on the matter?

I taped my charger when it got damaged and now, a few weeks later it makes scratching sounds, as if the wire is sparking. It's well covered tho. Is it dangerous?

Will this work on the chords in side an electric blanket? My dog chewed a whole in mine that I got as a present last year, and I'm so upset. She's fine thankfully, but I'd love to try and fix this instead of having to but a new one. I have one completely broken chord like yours in the tutorial, and further down that same chords is a joint break (where the chord is still together, but the casing and and part of the wire is frayed to where it bends like an elbow)

Can this work for photo clip LED lights? They got tugged on and separated into 2.

Thank you. A squirrel chewed through the cable for my solar powered light in the summerhouse. Watched this video and 10 minutes later I had a fully functioning light again.

I cant cut the rubber protection thing off of the wires without a couple of them falling out. Will that effect if they're still able to work?

My wireless earbuds are cutting of on the right side, I have an idea of where the wire is. I think I may use this, I just don't know if there's electrical tape in my house.

I fixed the left speaker attached to the subwoofer. There was a smaller rubber with wires within a bigger one but I managed to fix it anyway. These are good quality speakers and I dont have to throw them out anymore 😀

this is awesome thanks for doing this wished I'd seen it sooner would have saved me a ton of money replacing all the stuff my pups chewed up lol

When it comes to outdoor wiring, you'll want to be much more careful. I'd recommend replacing the wire altogether if that's an option, being sure to use an outdoor-rated wire. You can use heatshrink tubing to help weatherproof things but it's not as secure as a new wire would be.

Hey! you video is fantastic, I do have a question tho. My keyboard has 4 wires inside a thicker wire. When I open the thicker wire, the 4 wires in the middle of it are wrapped around metal threads, do i need to worry about these metal threads, and if so there isn't a way to fix it is there?

@LRN2DIY

10 жыл бұрын

Great question. Here's the concept - if there's metal in there, it needs to be connected to the matching metal on the other end of the wire. It also needs to be insulated with the tape. In your case, you'll want to expose each of the four wires and connect them to the matching wires on the other side. Then connect the metal threads to each other as well. You'll end up with five separate connections. It's a pain but it should work. Good luck!

Yeah, it's the same concept. If the dog chewed through both sides of the headphones (left ear and right ear), you'll need to splice together each wire, which will have two wires in each. Headphones are tough because the wires are tiny but it works the same way. Good luck, Eder!
