Step 11 Improve Electrical Contact with a Hammer

This extension cord wasn't making good contact when I plugged things into it.
So I hit it on the side with a hammer to bend the contacts together a little bit.
Now it works fine. I can feel it gripping when I plug something into it.

This method works with sockets made of plastic that's not too hard.
I would have said "works on chewy ones" but then I'd also have to say:

WARNINGS:
Don't put extension cords in your mouth and chew on them and put your tongue in them and slobber in them. Eye sockets are incompatible with electrical sockets. So don't plug things into your eye sockets. Don't have sex with electrical connectors. They're male and female but they'll give you a bad case of "electrocute your genitals". If civilian contractors want to try this on you just tell them the only information you'll be able to give them is whether the sex was any good and it'll probably be really bad.
