I´ve tryed it ... worked no so well. So I thought to use a A-bomb. Results were good but better with a H-Bomb. Finally I found my freedom with super heated plasma. ;-) No ... kidding ... I´ ve used two A-Bombs ...

Dude! Brilliant. I feel rather dull now for never thinking of this, but oh well, far better to learn and feel humble than to stay ignorant and proud, lol. Extra heartfelt thanks for not saying the dreaded modern UA-cam detestable phrases: "Hack" or "Without further ado", not dragging it out, not begging for likes and subscribes, and not having a wretchedly annoying soundtrack. Liked and Subscribed! Cheers :)

Reminds me of my airless fryer.

absolute gold of a video

Did you just hot wire your USB?

great idea, thank you

Puff Daddy approves of your kinks!

Simple, but useful tip.

Each time I have cables that needs straightening I book a 5* vacation in Ecuador and use them to reserve the best lounger by the pool.

Clip both ends to document foldback clips and hang straight while warm till fully cool. Cable will remain straight.

You just know some people will try using their microwave! 🤣

😊😊😊

I've been using a heat gun for this, thought maybe hot water would work, but at least for recent Samsung mobiles if the USB socket gets at all damp the phone will refuse to charge via the socket. They do wireless charging, but the one time this 'got' me I was away from home; no wireless charger pads around. So a heat gun...

But the cable is clearly still a bit kink at the end. It's not factory straight

Thanks. I so wish that video was 23 years old or such and just reaching me now, I could have missed decades of doing the twist. I have a double, smooth edged, commando style knife engraved Made with Sheffield steel, it's been with me since the last millennium. I hope it is necessary to throw out each bowl of now tepid water and use freshly boiled from cold water for each straightening - attack the 2024 OCD global warming maniacs. Use solar energy.

Even better, keep the bends so that you fold it the same way next time.

Rubbing alcohol does the same thing, just wipe the cord with it. Or hear me out. just use the cord, and it will naturally straighten.

*Messy Spaghetti became Angel Hair. He forgot to drain, add sauce, meat and cheese* 🍝😂

I cooked half a pound of them and then added some tomatoe sauce! Delicious! If you like it hot take 12 volt ones.

A very effective way indeed !

Good idea. I prefer silicone cables without and kinks.

Bloody good trick as I have many cables that have twists and turns.

This video inspired me to throw my gay brother in some hot water. He’s now straight, but has some skin burns - will the burn ointments unstraighten him?

cool (hot) 👍

This is the way.

I used the friction of my hands to do it. Not as effective as the water technique you just showed us, and on long cables it starts to over heat your hand, but it's always available :)

10k views in 1 Day for a video less than a minute long, without any nonsense intro or pleas for Likes and Subscribers. Absolute respect to you! I have since tried this with my cables in my camera bag and it works a treat 😁

Hot water is uniform heating at an even temperature - there is no better way than this

Great and useful video, thanks. The hot water works.

The same thing I did to my spagethi, except, I want my spagethi from straight to wringkle

Forbidden ramen

I shout at my cables, arrest them, put them on trial and jail them. That straightens them out.

Thank you! Nice and useful short video! 👍🏻

What! No 10 minutes sponsorship? This must be a time travel video.

I expected some eejot saying spray them with WD40 and put them inthe freezer for two months, but no I was shocked and dimayed by pure common sense, damn you.

Hey, I got that timer. Maybe I could hack it! :-)

I did this and my cables turned out al dente. Please advise.

I for years used the hot water method but it is frankly messy. There is however a better method that does not involve water. You need a wooden board and you set your oven to 80 Celcius and just bake them for a few minures. You can also use this method to restore coiled cables. Remove any tangles wrap them tightly on a length of wooden dowel cable using cable ties to secure the ends, bake them in the oven for 10 minutes at 80 Celcius remove and leave to cool. Then take off the wooden dowel and your coild cable will be like new.

I work with a lot of network cables all coiling up. So, I have found putting them in the back of my car in the hot sun relaxes the coiling completely!

Very COoL (and steamy). I knew about doing this with "belts" but.. duh, I never thought about the CrAzY cables. That was the best ~58 seconds I've ever spent. And that includes my last 3rd date! Definitely a SUB-worthy video. I'm gong to try this on my Peyronie's condition . Wish me luck!

Handy tip, thanks for being straight to the point. 👍

Oh you boil them, of course, why didn't I think of that...

Use a flame torch, much faster.

That is such a gloriously elegant solution. Thank you! 🙂

This is sooo obvious...NOW THAT YOU HAVE SHOWN ME! Thanks for a short, to the point, useful video!

Nice; wife does this with new circular knitting needles too... Thanks! :)

You forgot to salt the water. Also: 30 seconds is for well done; if you prefer your USB cables al dente, take them out after 25. All jokes aside, pretty decent hack. Another hot water hack: rubber belts, e.g. the kind that help open/close CD/DVD trays, or used in tape recorder drive mechanisms. When they start to wear out and become too loose, they can often be brought back for a bit more use by tossing them into hot water for a bit. It shrinks them, so they don't slip anymore. The effect is temporary, but enough to bridge a couple of weeks/months, giving you time to source the proper replacement belts.

Let them be kinky. It's a free country.

It also works the other way around. You can use this method to make a coiled cable, just like the old telephone cables used to be. You just need to wrap the cable around a rod or something similar.

i've left them hanging in the sun, used the reflow gun, normal heat gun and for cleaning I prefer ISO to water. Cheers!
