if you want a good stripper for extension cords you can make one in about 30 seconds at no cost. Take a 2x4 maybe 6" long. Drill a hole at about a 45* angle from the 4" face down to the 2" side. The hole should be a little bigger than the cord so it pulls through easy. Drill another hole the same as the first only the size of the inside wires. To use it simply start the wire in the hole use a utility knife as a cutter. Just hold it on the block so just the tip is cutting the insulation and pull the wire through. With a little practice you will be able to score the insulation and not cut the wire. I tried the block with the screws but I lost patience adjusting the screw for each wire and the blade is way sharper.
