When finishing a washing machine repair, do put the belt back on _before_ reinstalling it. Its so much quicker.

Just a thought, not something I've ever been so silly as to do.

And when fitting a rubber plugtop, thread the cable through the hole in
the cover before attaching it to the terminals.

When building a Tesco flat-pack, do find the drawer frames split and re-package for return before glueing and screwing the main carcase. It's so much easier to take it back to the shop on the bus that way.

I noticed rubberised "Permaplugs" do not have that problem - which
seemed peculiar to Duraplugs.

And as Huge says - just slit the entry. Probably all now been replaced over
the years, but many of mine were like that

Years ago, I used to fit/replace 13Amp plugs all the time both at work
and at home.

Can't remember that last time I had to touch one.

as it was getting hot...

Naah. You can just cut a slit in the cable entry on the plug top and
feed the cable through it.

I was waiting for that. All the ones I've ever fitted have such a slit, I
think.

And make sure all the screws ar securing the bits together are tight, as the
vibration will otherwise result in t a tendency toward disassembly during
use.

This also applies to coaxial plugs, terminal boxes and other forms of
installation.

Not the ones I used to use, but in at least one case I reglued the slit
together. This joint outlasted the rest of the plug.
