Here's how to replace the male end of a 3-prong electrical connector. This works for appliances or extension cords. This example was a replacement for my old drill press and was pretty fun to make. Thanks for watching!
Below is a description and link to the Amazon product, but you can get similar plugs from most hardware stores.

Thank you ever so much. Couldn't remember which was the ground. You give very very good instructions. You spoke of stuff I take for granted and wouldn't think to advise someone that had never replaced a plug. Well done kind Sir. 👏

I mean they tell you how to do it and it’s literally just sticking it in there and tightening down a screw, but I guess it’s not fair to assume competence on the internet

Only thing I'm left unsure about is how the wire should be placed or better yet, "crushed" in between the screw and the piece of metal? Am I to just stick it straight in and tighten? Or somehow or another manage to curl it around the srcew as you would with an outlet?

Thank you for sharing this, I was having a problem with a used extension cord I had bought, anyway, the guy had reversed the polarity on the female end. I just used this as a refresher for silver black. I had it right, but it is always great to have a second opinion. I redid both ends and trimmed / stripped the wires a little more neatly and put it all back together and I have a safe outdoor extension cord again.

Thanks Dan for a Great and Concise Video. I too am replacing a Cord and Plug-in for a 16 inch Old Delta Drill press I'm restoring, and have changed these plugs many times, but, but, but, this time when I took the plug-in like you are showing, and looked at where the wires attach, the Green wire was no problem, then I looked at where the Black and White wire went, and then the DUH factor kicked in, there was No Brass Screw to designate where the Hot (Black) wire went, as both screws were silver. So I found your Video, and marked on the back of the Plug with a Black sharpie as to where the Black wire went. You Save me. I guess in Life we get to used to Mfgs tell us where everything goes.Thanks Again.

Dan, I might add, when I do my wires ready to secure them in the plug, I twist the wires good and tight, then I solder the ends before in insert them and tighten. I don't know why I do this, but always have, believing it makes better contact and the wires don't separate or become frayed. Just a Habit I guess.

Question...is it better to stick the wire straight in next to the screw or wrap it around the screw. I'm asking because the wire straight in would sit cock eyed under the screw. Oh and...when I said wrap yhe wire on the screw, I meant take off the screw and "U" shapped cover so the whole wrapped wire is under the "U" cover. Thanks!
@aurorayoru5333
@aurorayoru5333 2 месяца назад
Wrap around like a hook so when you tighten the screw it grabs the wire and it makes a better connection

Are there any extension cord ends that actually look good after they’re on your cord, like the factory ones?
@williamthomas8135
@williamthomas8135 Год назад
not really. I bought a cheap orange plug, and it looks a lot like an orange extension cord, but its not real heavy duty nor water resistant (the blades can actually be pushed in and out of the plug face) I used some caulk inside to seal the plug .

This cheap replacement plugs don't allow the copper wire to be inserted as a 'U'. They also leave a visible gap which can easily let any liquid in. Apply dialectric grease in between
