No flexible cord is impervious to cuts. That being said there are flexible cords for dry and damp locations, extra hard usage. They are classed as power supply cables, have an insulation rated at 600 volts at 60 degrees C. The type designation on the cable will be SG, SGO, SW, SWO or SWT. Under the class of flexible cord the type designation will be S,SO or ST.

Is it safe to cut and splice wire a normal 12v-125 amp 1625 watts max extension cord into a hanging light chandeliere fixture that has just two electrical wires?

I assume you mean 125v, 12 amps and 1625 watts max extension cord. This is not technically a proper installation but it should work. The concern is how long are you running the extension cord and how and where are you making the splices. There are a lot of issues at hand that cannot be answered without more information. Electricians generally dislike extension cords. Usually the conductors are small enough they will MELT AND BURN at a current flow that will NOT TRIP THE BREAKER. You should consider it temporary at best. It should not be forgotten nor hidden in a wall or ceiling under ANY circumstances.

How do you correct defective two wire cords and plugs?

If you have a bad plug on a lamp cord, also called zip cord by some old timers, you can go to the hardware store and buy a replacement. Cut off the old plug and follow instructions for installing the new plug. If you have a frayed or broken wire, you are better off buying a new cord, or if length isn't a problem, cut off the bad part and install a new plug on the remaining wire. If you are dealing with a simple extension cord, your are usually better off economically and from a safety standpoint to just buy a new cord and disposing of the old cord. If the cord is hardwired into an appliance the techniques described.
