I was always taught to stagger the cuts and joins, so if your tape (liquid tape, here) isn't adequate, you can't get a short. Having all three cuts and joins all exactly aligned is like a belt without suspenders. I mean, your pants really shouldn't fall down, but it's better to have both, just in case!
Cords are best replaced or shortened as the repair will be much weaker, but for personal use or in emergencies (it's an OSHA hit for good reason so know that before deciding) we've all done it. Noobs beware because house fires are inconvenient so do it soundly or not at all. When I damage a drop cord worth fixing I just add a decent plug/receptacle and make two out of one. Then if the cord is damaged again it's already "wearing" the repair parts. The handy flip side is if you work for a business with strict safety rules they have to discard lots of repairable bits and pieces. For example in the military before inspections lots of "stuff" gets thrown away as big outfits lose money repairing anything worth less than the time lost doing it. I was given a couple hundred feet of SOOW cable extension cord because it was not commercially made (liability issue) and did not conform to any technical order requirement. (Before considering this wasteful remember one spark in the wrong place can burn down an aircraft.) Happy repairs and scrounging, but think first and play safe!
With all the stuff he uses to fix it, you could just go out and buy a new cord. Many people have little or no tool kit. How about just a knife and some electrical tape.
Dude who made you vocal police and do you get paid for it lol. As a British guy i was just as amazed that Americans don't use the l. And as the British language came 100 years before american i would say this makes the american way the unofficial way and most likely a lazy alternative. have a great day.
With an American accent, one would think he would pronounce it the American way.🤷♂️ Languages evolve. Say it whatever way you want. Well put together video, my friend.
@@canadabri2008 No, pretty sure that the American English language is exactly that...our language, ever since we kicked your pansy asses out of our country almost 250 years ago lol
