You would need wire strippers, and maybe screw drivers for attaching the new plug, if not a soldering iron. :D

- bluGill 2y agoGenerally you would not solder mains power. Often code doesn't allow it.
- bdavbdav 2y agoDefinitely not a soldering iron (at least on UK plugs). Kitchen scissors in a pinch (or teeth in a real pinch) and presumably a couple of screwdrivers is in everyone’s toolkit if you own a house.
- op00to 2y agoRight! I just looked at replacement plugs for the US, and they're all either compression fit or screw terminals! So, teeth plus a screwdriver (or maybe a butter knife) is all you need.
