Al Carrell: One of the few things that can go wrong with a lamp is that the plug goes bad. And if that happens to you, it's real easy to fix. All you have to do is go in and trim off the old one, just lop it off, and now a lot of people would shy away from doing that because they remember when you used to have to take the wires and strip 'em and separate 'em and then twist 'em up and then you had to insert the whole thing in through here and attach it with a couple of screws. Well you don't have to do that anymore. They have plugs that just instantly attach. Here's one right here that's similar to the one we just took off and all you have to do is insert the wire in there all the way and then when you pull down this little trigger, it has some little bitty points in there that penetrate the insulation and make the connection. So that now, as soon as you get that clamped down, you're ready to plug this sucker in and it's going to work. Remember now, if you have big cords like this, that you don't want to put a small plug on there. There are replacements that you can get, but you have to get a heavy-duty replacement and the same thing is true for the other end. So you can see that you really can do this in a hurry and it's going to work out great.
