Default Why is electric cord thicker than it used to be, and do they make little switches for thick cord.

Hmmm.. Maybe so. I don't like idea of opening up a brand new thing,
or of cutting off most of the cord and splicing, but maybe that's what
I should do. . Thanks


Often one has to modify a new item to get it to conform to the buyer's
wishes: Mud flaps on a Corvette, for example.

Make an extension cord out of zip cord with the style of plug, switch and
outlet that you want and plug the fan cord into it. That way you can make it
as long as you want, route it conveniently - maybe even more conveniently
than before.
