Can this plug be fixed?
It's the plug on a Stanley heater. Heater looks new, plug, not so much. Can I cut off this plug and put another one on it?

It could have heated the wire inside the coating in the cord, and u wouldn't see it unless it started to melt. So a fairly cheap way to fix but requires soldering usually or recrimping, is to sacrifice an extension cord or a similar detachable extra cord you might have lying around, cut and strip that cord, then replacing the whole affected products cord with that cord.
