You just saved my house from being burned down!
I'd say one should baby ALL cables this way, power or not. Gonna strip one way or another if abused.
I now feel like a complete numpty. Thanks Tested! :P
Good stuff. :)
Personally, I just jumble it up and toss it in my bag. Messy, but at least I'm not putting pressure in the sensitive widdle cable.
Yeah I agree. Where were you guys for the last five years when I've had to replace three of these?! (Granted the second one was dog attack and not my poor winding.)
