The technique that I use is to pull the wire tight straigt back with pliers holding the end of the wire... then I bend it 90degrees straight down.... then I bring that to a vice holding a cut off galv roofing nail held vertical with the nail head projecting up about 1- 1.5 inches above the vice jaws... I hold the plug with my left hand and pull the wire very tightly once around the nail just below the nail head... then I loosen the vcice and remove the nail... then I tighten the vice jaws on the end of the new loop and leave just enough room to wrap the wire 2x around the plug end... i cut the tag end off with a hack saw... 32 teeth per inch
... I cut about hald way and bend it back and forth with needlenose pliers til it breaks
