    I have seen a few adapters ruined by overzealous wrapping. Please go easy on the cord tension, expecially on the first wrap.
    Pulling too hard at such a sharp angle stresses the cable where it connects to the adapter, and will quickly shorten it’s life.

    take it easy on your adapter, and this method is brilliant.
