    You must use some knowledge and buy some good quality tools. Don't use tape it will fail and <kill> someone. Don't use a rubber plug/socket, it shows your poor skill level and you may put the live mains on the wrong end and <kill> someone.
    Do the right thing here it is really simple and straight forward skill to learn to replace the lead, over the years you may have to do it a few times.

    Get a new flex (with a molded plug).

    make sure the male part goes on the appliance side?

    not rocket science is it?

    ive had/got lots of garden tools wired like this. due to past repairs.
