- I quick video showing the process to replace the power cable on a hand power tool. In particular, I am replacing the cord on a DwWalt angle grinder in this video, but the process is similar for most power tools.

Quick Tip, When running a screw back into plastic start by rotating the screw counter-clockwise. As you do this feel for the screw to drop off the old threads and when you feel the slight click begin turning the screw clockwise. This runs the screw back down the old threads rather than cutting new. This matters when working with old plastic, especially automotive, that may crack or break from the stress of forming new threads, thus avoiding a repair.
Thanks Keith, I have changed many cords on my equipment. Why did I bother watching your video. I don't know, but I do enjoy reading the comments, always learn something from them and you. I guess Keith just goes good with morning coffee!
tool repair shops are going out of business or have already. Videos like this are helpful to others
A check of the motor brushes and a good cleaning of the outside of the housing would be good practice too.. ;-)
An AvE Experience! And it works when you put it back together.
Hi Keith !
Was the right time to give the whole thing a wipe with a bit of mineral spirits on a rag. Clean tools always preform better.
Hey, you finally did something I've actually done!
who could not like this share , Keith saved a great tool ! Thumbs UP
While putting back the self-tapping screws it's good practice, to turn them to the left side to find the beginning of the old thread in plastic parts. You can feel it, when the screw snaps to it.
THANK YOU...for sharing. Nice repair.
nice repair Keith!
Nice lesson, good job. That is a interesting tool caddy maybe a short on that.
Hey Keith I'll share a tip I learned from another CZcamsr AVE. When you go to tighten the screws in plastic turn the screw counterclockwise until you feel it cam into the original cut thread, that way you don't recut a the thread and make a lose fit. Matt C.
Good idea to check the brushes and commutator while you got it in bits and to grease the gearbox. Des.
Thank you Keith!
When a cord shows that much wear, a new set of brushes would be a good idea as long as you had it open. When the brushes fail next week, you can share another video showing that project. :-)
I've used my airline to scatter screws and parts across the garage too... Piiiiissshhhh.... Oh bugger.
These tools are always cramped inside. Nice job.
Hi Keith it would be a good time to check your brushes now too.
