I Learned This Trick from a Skilled Electrician – Genius Electrical Hack!

That's pretty much the stupidest thing I've seen all morning

What a crap way to do a job bodger comes to mind

That electrician was not skilled

Darwin Awards Go To This Fella Pretty Soon

Just remind me not to call your skilled electrician when I need work done at the house. I would rather be in the dark instead of in the street after the house burns down.

I've been an electrician for 26 years, you only do this if you have no other choice and is only a temporary fix because you really need to plug in whatever device you have... Otherwise, use the white connector for safety reasons.

Absolutely wrong thing to do! Twisting the wires, no soldier, don't do it!

so bad

Perfect, I'll use this hack on my bathroom toaster. 😂

He taught you just before his house burned down!

Is the electrician you learned this from still alive?😂😂

A great way to get by (a temporary measure) but not permanently. As soon as you can get it done properly.

Just an irresponsible video. There will be kids out there who will try this.

You really need a skilled electrician to teach you this ? You are very unimaginative then !

Pure genius,not!!!

Two words that should never go together.electrical and hack.

Ma perché??!! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

For the sake of about £1.50, buy a new SAFE replacement. This should be a video called, "How not to fix a damaged cable".

So leaving bare wires at the end which are still pretty exposed. yeah I agree, electricians don’t want you to see this 😂

This is not advised and if you do something like this for some odd reason then do not bend the exposed wire towards the same direction as there is a high chance the wires will touch with movement and short out or cause a fire. The wire should not be twisted and just bent over and covered. The connections need to be crimped and sealed 100%.

not a skilled person...no strain relief....click bait

This did not come from a skilled electrician, this came from a dangerous imbecile .

no one has ever cut their thumb off using a razor blade like that.

A lot safer, easier and cheaper just to fit the white replacement. What a dick...

Wow ,you spliced a power cord ?
That's amazing !
🙄

Do this when it is plugged in for an instant afro.

Mate just change the plug... time is money 🤦

It's not a trick though.

This is totally irresponsible and dangerous

Horrible

Besides all the safety concerns: What exactly is the "trick"?

Not to criticize, but it's a good idea to solder the wires as well

You need to solder them.

Дурость

No, no, no! Simply twisting the wires does not guarantee a good connection. Also, the heat-shrink tubing is not a good strain relief. Do not do this unless you like burning your house down.

wtf wow
you are genius

I bet he had flip-flops and cigarette.

And what was this skilled electrician skilled in exactly?

This is so dangerous and totally unnecessary.

Only people in India do dumb shit like this.

wow

Better than new.

Dodgy

Your insurance company will love this.

hello.... ever heard of solder?

Jeez. "Learned this trick from a skilled bodger" is more the mark

sure, if you want to start a fire or trip a breaker

I AM a foreman electrical engineer. And for (very well-thought-out) safety reasons, this isn't allowed. Videos like this can put people in danger. No "skilled electrician" would approve of something like this. It falls more into the category of "ill-conceived and dangerous life hacks."

FFS!!!
