plug for fan

I have not been kind to the plug when I move my floor fan, I just yank it, wellll the wires broke AND the fan did not work, funny that eh! I know remove using the plug but I didn't so this pm I
walked to town market and there were a few shops open including 2 electrical stores, first store not have a 'do it your self 'new plug but referred me to the second one along the street, success!! he was quite surprised that I would change the plug and even more surprised that I have 2 screw drivers, I told him I also have a hammer. so fan works good now and I learned my lesson, I will use the plug when moving the fan
