Thanks you all for a bunch of good answers. I think I'm going to
start with Mormon's suggestion of another cord between the tool and
the current cord.

Putting a new end on might work but both the mower and the current
weed wacker expect the cords's end to go an inch into a hole, so I'd
have to check if a new end will fit.**

I"m saving the other ideas for backup.

strapped on to a cord, a cord with a female end that is too big to fit
in a hole like my lawnmower has, for the prongs. The device plugs
into the cord, and it has a small male end that will surefly fit into
the hole in the mower or weedwacker. So I could use one of those,
but I don't want to have to
