    Repair the power cord on your power tool : GardenFork.TV : power tool repair video

    by Eric · This post may contain affiliate links, its one way we pay the bills. · 5 Comments

    Here we make a video on how to repair the power cord of your power tool. Don't just wrap it in tape; here Eric shows you how he repairs the power cord on his circular saw. You can do this, watch the video and then repair your tools .

    DIY power tool repair is within the grasp of your average person, if i can repair my drill, circular saw, or other electric tools so can you. This DIY video shows you how to fix a circular saw, but this can be applied to other tools as well. Basically anything with  power cord can be fixed , just watch here and learn.

    Its important to match the wires correctly when re-attaching them, you want the polarized plug to work properly and safely. And be careful when soldering wires, the soldering iron is hot, learn from my experiences...

    And pay attention to where the power cord is when you are using a power tool, after we shot this how-to video, I proceeded to cut the cord of this saw yet again, and i repaired it yet again. Not unusual in my world.

    Do you have a good way to repair the power cord on a power tool? let us know below!

      I wonder if fixing a power tool would be intimidating to some people. I agree that it is important to learn more about the tool, where the wires are, and what they do. I think taking them to a professional would be the best thing to do, that way I know it is getting done right.

      Power tool cord repair is definitely within the grasp of most anyone. It's a simple process that's safe, provided appropriate precautions are taken. DIY also saves time and the cost of professional repair. Try it.

      Thanks for your tip to make sure that the wires of your power tool are matched correctly. I didn't know that cords could be fixed more than once. My husband is considering having some of his power tools repaired, but since he lacks the time and expertise to do it himself, we are looking into a professional.
