Just about all the electricians I know and work with use the hole
in the side of stripper that is made for making the loop that fits

strippers can be used to close the loop tight.

I have one just like that, but a different manufacturer.

Which holes are you talking about? I never knew there was a hole for
that purpose. I still use a needle nose to make a hook. Of course it
takes me only seconds to do it, but if there is an easier way, I'd
like to know.

Thanks

If you ask me all light duty lamps and extension cords should be fused
for safety sake.

One time I had a customer in a mall using a light gauge non grounded
extension cord for a 1500W machine that had a tendency to burn wires
off shorting to the case.

well I serviced the machine and noted the unsafe condition saying you
need a air conditioner extension cord.

my next visit not only had they not changed the extension, they
advanced to stapling it to a carpeted wall it was hot.

Well I serviced the machine left it to heat and went shopping buying
them a AC extension cord. Came back swapped cords and cut their white
ligt cord one into pieces so it didnt get reused.

they were very mad, and said you cant charge us for that cord.

my reply no its a gift so no one gets shocked or causes a fire burning
down the mall the paperwork would cost a fortune.

I lost the customer they were ****ed but at least I knew it was safe
when I left and I would do the exact same thing today!.........

no doubt if someone got shocked I would get sued and the machine was
in a place customers had access too, the entire outside of the unit a
nice metal
