My 220 cord is now in two pieces. It's about 6 guage. They want a fortune for a new one. Does anyone know how to put it back together a little cheaper?

Solder the wires and slip heat shrink over each wire and a larger heatshrink over all of it. Dont forget to slide the heat shrink over the wires BEFORE soldering and keep it away form the soldering heat. might even want to double up on the outside heatshrink. The soldered joint will provide better conductivity than a butt splice.

Home Depot and other electrical supply places sell butt splices just for that purpose. Get the right size for that wire and get some heat shrink tubing to seal it. I did that to extend my welding leads.

Here are a couple of ideas.
1. Put a pair of twist lock receptacles/plug on it. When you don't need the whole length you will get better (less) voltage drop.

2. Put a WP junction box on it.

3. Butt splice it and encapsulate the whole thing in an underground splice kit (the kind with the plastic body- 3M I think)
