  • No, I get what you mean but you just said “always over.” That puts a twist in the cable. You can’t not twist it if you do “always over.”

    Go take one of your long extension cords and attach the other end somewhere off the ground and then uncoil it so that it’s suspended in the air and you’re holding the other end. You’ll feel how it wants to turn in your hand because there’s a twist in it. That’s what the method in the video is preventing from happening.


  • No, it’s not the same effect. Your way just forces the cable into a neat-looking coil, but it twists the conductors inside. That’s why when you uncoil it, you get a corkscrew that won’t lay flat, tangles more easily, and eventually wears the cable out. The method in the video avoids putting a twist in the cable at all - so when you uncoil it, it lies flat, doesn’t tangle, and lasts longer.
