    The suburban solution is to create a false dichotomy to rationalize outsourcing a simple electrical issue to Lowes.

    The hack solution is to cut two ends and reterminate them.

    I’d hack it. To do it well it’s 8 crimps, wire loom, and harness tape. So, 10 minutes and $5.

      and you’d be right. If you are sure about it, and you know how it works, just make it yourself, so that you don’t need to put anyone else in danger of getting sued.

      The reason hardware stores don’t sell them is that people WILL use them in a dangerous way, and they don’t want to be held responsible.
