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

Make sure you seat the nose loop into the nose of the plug. If it's loose to start with, you'll need way too many turns to get your wrap tight.
