I am and he is 100% right.

Go to the hardware store and buy a replacement plug for like $5. Look up YouTube videos on how to replace an electrical plug if you don’t know how. Can be done with a knife and screwdriver (but wire cutters and stripper is recommended over the knife) in less than 5 minutes.

Because I didn't want it getting retracted into the body and straining it.
