Anyone else have this issue with molded plug ends on power cords? The cord jacket shrinks and pulls out end. I would post a photo,lost at getting it done

Short answer.. YES.
The cord jacket shrinks... only soultions I know of are replacement the ends (Shortening the wires) or perhps heat shrink tubing (First remove the plug then slip heat shrink over the end and jacket) Finding heat shrink that large I never did, use 2 or 3 layers. Replace plug with new end (Well the first time just a replacemnt plug and ciut the wires back_)
