MacBook computers are marvelously built machines, but their chargers seem to be lacking the same quality control. The Python Cord is a clever invention that allows you to protect the unfortunately delicate cable that often splits apart at one or both ends and breaks.
To avoid having to spend a frustratingly large sum on a new adapter, Elliott Snyder offers a preventative solution. A segment of pre-stretched tubing can be easily slipped over the tiny tip of the Apple laptop connector. Just unravel the spiraling stent and the material with close snugly around the wire and extend along more than an inch of it. This will support the common stress point and spread it out. Finally, a removable clip keeps the Python Cord in place.
