I drape my cords over my shoulder, sometimes wrapping them around my
arm, so they never get munched. It's embarassing to saw through your
cord and blow a client's circuits, not to mention a real hassle in the
interim, until you get the cord repaired and then replaced.


Remember the old Black and Decker cords? They plugged into all their
tools and came in different lengths, If you damaged one of them, you just
unplugged it and plugged in another cord. Then repair the old one. And the
could be used as extension cords too.

That was back in the day when black and decker actually made good tools.


I was getting B&D back in the 60's, when the detachable cords came out I
saw "that" as beginning of the decline... ;~(
