How to spot a damaged power cable [With Video]

In this video I take a look at what a damaged power cable looks like. In this example we look at a rubber cable that is fitted to a normal extension cable. I found this cable, was about to use it and noticed it was damaged.

If you have a similar damaged extension cable then I suggest that you stop using it and buy a new one, you can get a good quality one from Amazon for under £10.
