3 Clever Tricks to Fix your Phone Charger

Frayed charger cables and broken cords are the ruin of every smart phone owner’s existence! If you’ve never had your charger break on you, then you’re a liar, because it’s an all-too-familiar tragedy for 99% of us.

It seems like the chargers and cords we buy are meant to break so we can keep going back and buy new ones.

Here are 3 clever ways to repair and protect your charger cords…

       1.       Use the spring from a pen

It may not look that nice, but it is a trick that works like a charm. Open up a pen, take out the spring inside. Carefully stretch out the spring and attach it to one end of your charger then roll it completely onto the cable and slide it to the top. Now your cord is instantly protected from bending too much!

      2.       The paracord trick

If you’re the crafty type, or you just spent too much time making friendship bracelets then this trick will be too easy. Get yourself some paracord, cut it open and remove the white strand then melt the ends to stop it from fraying. Weave it around your cord using the cobra knot and the result is effective and less ugly then using a pen spring.

      3.       Electrical tape trick

Take electrical tape and wrap it tightly around the ends of your charger cord of anywhere the cord is fraying. You’re done! Keep in mind that this trick is only effective for a little while as the tape might start to come loose and sticky.
