Five minutes? Hardly. Not for someone who's never done it before.

Not even for someone who has, IME. I almost always adjust the strip
length, clean the copper with some fine sandpaper, and take the time
to make a nice, snug, greater than 180 mechanical wrap around the
screw.

Procure the replacement, find the tools, get out the 3.00 reading
spectacles, and by the time I sit down to *begin* the job a hell of a
lot more than five minutes have elapsed.

You can still find your tools without your glasses? Just wait...

P.S.

Stolen without permission from Reader's Digest:

A lady went into a florist shop and asked for an arrangement. She said
to the clerk "Please make it something pretty and festive. I'm trying
to cheer up a friend who just lost her seeing eye dog."



How does she know it's not just sitting there 6 ft away being quiet just
to be a wise-ass?
