The Magsafe connector on the Macbook Pros works really well, but the connector on the power supply cable doesn’t have adequate support and will eventually fail if used roughly. I decided to add an additional support structure to the connector using shrink tubing and a champagne bottle cork. While at it, I documented the procedure and made an illustrated guide on how to do it.

Materials and tools used: 12.7 mm shrink tube, a champagne cork, a sharp knife, a kitchen temperature meter, a gas stove.
