...a bright flash and a whiff of ozone... - archipirata - 12-17-2009
I never thought it would happen to me but alas today I did it.
While this is someone else's photo, it is identical to what I saw after the sparks. Doh!

I hate when that happens.

Been there, done that exact same thing with some Black & Decker Hedge Hogs. I too never thought it would happen to me. Instead of one really long extension cord, I now have a long one and one short one. A replacement plug is not that hard to put on either end, thankfully.

My dad always ran over the extension cord of the electric mower with the mower. And the toe of his chukka boots twice.

Extension cords can make great speaker wire BTW.

And is it cheaper too.

And they're such a nice fashion statement.
Right up there with cinder block bookshelves.
Check that- they make cider block bookshelves look fashionable.

I've searched a lot for a "connector" that will nicely splice 2 wires together that I've sheared apart doing the same chore. I know you can put a plug on each end of the severed cord, but it seems like there ought to be some kind of a slim connector that will safely join the 2 ends and not be much thicker than the cord. Anyone seen such a thing?

This is a MUCH better product for trimming hedges. Go for quality.
I agree on using electrical cord as speaker wire.
