Introduction

The following guide will help you replace any flimsy or loose wires on your kitchen egg slicer.

For an egg slicer to work properly, it depends on the tension of the wires, as it is what cuts the egg. A flimsy or loose wire cannot cut your egg properly and will not serve its purpose. Fixing the wire is a relatively simple fix that brings many benefits, such as extending the life of your egg slicer and reducing plastic waste.

Before starting this repair guide, you will need a measuring tape, small needle nose pliers, flathead pliers, and a new wire that matches the gauge of your old wire. In addition, it is recommended that you utilize your experience and knowledge in handling small tools and parts.

It is advised that you adjust your grip to comfortably hold the wire to prevent any injuries. In addition, it is recommended that you do not excessively bend any components, as this may cause further damage to your egg slicer.

Do not repeatedly bend clamps. This weakens the metal and makes it more susceptible to damage.
It is strongly recommended that you wear personal protective equipment when completing this repair. The wires may present a pinching or scratching hazard.
Using the flat nosed pliers, pry the clamp open.
Grip the clamp and bend to a 90 degree angle.
Repeat this step for every clamp.

Unwind the old wire from the slicer.
Extend the wire and put to the side.

Take the old wire and extend it out as much as possible.
Straighten out any bends in the old wire for accuracy.
Place your old wire at the 0 mark of the measuring tape.

It is recommended that you mark the length of your old wire on your measuring tape.
Use the length you recorded to cut a new wire and put it to the side.

Take the new wire, and anchor it by tying it in a loop around one of the clamp.
