About a week ago, my Uniden Radar detector ( https://amzn.to/3HrCaGK ) power cord which uses a RJ11 connector broke off. I used Loctite FUN-TAK Mounting Putty ( https://amzn.to/3qnzy5N ) for temporary fixes for my plastic parts such as to hold connectors together, such as for my RJ11 connector with a missing tab. It held the connector in place for about 3 days without issue and was easy to remove.

Its time to remove the temporary fix and replace the broken RJ11 telephone connector ( https://amzn.to/3zaQmAK ) for my radar detector.
My trusty crimp tool ( https://amzn.to/3Huow5H ) does both RJ45 / RJ11 connectors and i have been using it to fix network plugs as well.

For RJ11 jacks have 4 pin connectors and is pretty simple to figure out.
Just write down the order of the color cable or take a photo for reference.
I use the crimper tools sharp cutters to score the housing and cut the ends off for a straight even cut of the wires. It comes out aligned and ready. Just pull off the scored cable housing and sort the colored wires.

Slide the wires into the new connector plug and crimp using the crimping tool to seat all the wires. Overall it only takes about 20-30 seconds. The most important part is checking the wire color order. Lastly check the cable to make sure it works .Now my Uniden Radar detector ( https://amzn.to/3HrCaGK ) and it powers up!

Overall its good to know how to fix and replace broken RJ11 and RJ45 connectors for many applications for the home or car repair as many cables now use for data and power connections.

I also have a video on how to use the Sewing Machine built in AUTOMATIC NEEDLE THREADER. I got my first Singer 4322 Heavy Duty Sewing Machine ( https://amzn.to/3C8Xjmw ). This new model has a robust heavy duty motor that is able to sew heavier fabrics with ease. Most importantly it has an AUTOMATIC NEEDLE THREADER

There are four ways to thread hand sewing needles:

  1. Wet the end of the needle and poke it through the eye of the needle. This is the hardest method.
  2. Use a Needle Threading Tool ( Hook Type ): https://amzn.to/3Cg21iI
    This is very easy. Just insert the hook into the eye of the needle and pull the thread through.
  1. Use Needle Threading Tool (Wire Loop Type): https://amzn.to/3Bkk3ix
    This is also very easy to use. Just insert the wire loop into the eye of the needle, thread the thread into the wire loop, then pull the wire loop and thread through the eye of the needle.
  2. Self Threading Needles: https://amzn.to/3C9lfq5
    These are very convenient needles where you just insert the thread into the a slit in the eye of the needle. It hooks into it and works well.

HOW TO USE: SINGER – AUTOMATIC NEEDLE THREADER – on Singer Sewing Machines. EASY & FAST

This video shows you how to use the Singer Sewing Machine built in AUTOMATIC NEEDLE THREADER. I got my first Singer 4322 Heavy Duty Sewing Machine ( https://amzn.to/3C8Xjmw ). This new model has a robust heavy duty motor that is able to sew heavier fabrics with ease. Most importantly it has an AUTOMATIC NEEDLE THREADER

My prior model was Singer beginners model M3220 ( https://amzn.to/3C8Xjmw ) did not have one and it took a long time to thread it. With an AUTOMATIC NEEDLE THREADER it makes threading easy, especially if you have a hard time seeing the needle hole.

The auto needle threader is easy to use. Simply pull the tool down. Align the guides to the needle eye. Once the hook is positioned in the eye, its stays in place so you can guide the new thread. Guide the thread into the large V shaped guide to the left then string it to the small guide to the right. Slowly move the tool back and the hook on the tool will pull the thread into the eye of the needle. It leaves about 1 centimeter of tread to pull through. After a few tries, it is very easy.

This Singer 4322 Heavy Duty Sewing Machine ( https://amzn.to/3C8Xjmw ) is a gift to my mother as her 25 year old Singer Sewing machine failed after 25 years. She really liked the Singer Sewing machine simple knobs and included accessories. In the next few weeks i will learn how to sew and fix clothing!
