all right so here we are and we're gonna go ahead and replace the cable on a Dewalt drill this cable is coming apart here at the bottom so I bought a replacement this one was about 10 bucks just make sure you get the right chords um this one's a 2 prong and this one is this 2 prong as well go ahead and remove the screws that hold the drill together I've already done that pull it apart and you can see on the inside of this this is a little protective part that we need to slip on the new cable and then right here there's no way of taking this apart so we're just going to go ahead and cut these two wires and splice it into the same we just got to make sure to get the black and the white splice into the same wire otherwise we'll have problems and here we go to plug it in anyway we'll go from there alright so strip the wires just a little bit so you can have enough room to to put on the connectors and then also make sure you put on your drill has one of these to protect the cable make sure you put that on first before you connect the two wires all right so I've taken each one of these connectors already place it on each of the wires and it's pretty simple all I have to do is take the crimps and crimp it on the end so that it has a tight hold make sure you just do one solid crimp instead of multiple little ones I'm going to have a stronger connection than that alright you can see I have both the white wires mashed up and the black wires I have the protector on the cable and I'm ready to I'm going to go ahead and double wrap it in electrical tape just as an insulator and a protector from water as well you all right bolt the wires are known electrical tape and then you just go ahead and snake this that just helps put some it helps relieve the stress when you're pulling on the cord and when it's pressed down in between these little notches go ahead and mount the protector again and then just put the drill back together and screw in you're good to go and there we go you got the finished product the new cables installed which is much better than the old frayed one that one was definitely a safety hazard and it works look at that
