Change the wall plug part of the Magsafe AC adapter?

I have a ton of Magsafe power cables, i.e. the cable that goes from the Magsafe “brick” and plugs into the wall socket. There are an assortment of plugs for Germany and other European countries, but I’d like to replace them (just the end part) with plugs for the US and UK. Can I use the standard (good quality) plugs you find in hardware stores? Can I just cut off the plug and an inch of cable, then reconnect the wiring to the new plug?

Thanks for any help.

It’s the original Magsafe I’m talking about. For the early Macbooks and Macbook Pros. It’s like the one in the picture above. I want to attach the three-prong US plug we see in the picture, replacing a German two-prong plug.

Just get a usb 110v adapter and plug it in. You don't have to cut any cable. The lightning cable has a usb end on one side and a lightning end on the other

how about just getting an adapter. You can get the adapter at 110220volts.com it's only 3 dollars each.
