Forget about replacing your cords over and over again, you can use inexpensive items to fix your cables and keep them safe.
Protecting cables can be an easy job if you stick to the following tips.
Clear vinyl tubing works great in protecting the cables from pets and rats. Slip the tubing over the vulnerable cords and become risk-free.
Whether you want to wrap multiple cords or a single one, the spiral wrap does wonders in keeping your cables safe.
