20 AMP Stinger

[Edrick]

Hey,

I'm looking to buy a 20 AMP Extension cord however I'm not looking for the cheap ones at home depot. Does anyone have any recommendations on where I could buy a 20 AMP Extension Cord (Stinger). The heavy duty black ones with the heavy duty ends out of hard plastic not the rubber. I want to buy them online I know I could probably go to a place like Barbizon and buy one but I'd like to buy online.

Make 'em yourself. Purchase bulk 12/3 and Edison connectors and go to town with wire cutters, a utility knife, wire strippers, and a screwdriver.

I was thinking of doing that I do enjoy making my self a good extension cord however I don't have any method of getting to a home depot or a lowes or a supply house for that matter. So I was trying to see if there were any online places I could buy a few 25 footers.

A stringer is not a jumper or extension cord. A stringer is either a lamp socket cord that has the lamp sockets every few feet such as used in construction lighting or a receptacle stringer such as an orchestra stringer that has outlets every few feet. Sort of stringing along of a bunch of outlets be it lamp or receptacle - not a jumper.

Lex has some awesome O' stringers but are not custom sized in spacing & can't do a lamp socket stringer. Just this past week saw a Euro totally molded flat cord screw base lamp socket stringer on the other hand that's rated for 15w but very compliant and rugged. Now searching for it's manufacturer and a supplier for it. Now that's a stringer and also code compliant given plugs or receptacles are not intended to be interconnection devices and the commonly used construction stringers are not filling the extra hard usage concept.

Pre- made extension cords / jumpers are available thru any theatrical supply house on the other hand. Web search into them would lead to numerous sources.

I believe that the OP mentioned stinger, not stringer. I usually think of a stinger as a quad-box cable (10 to 50 feet long 12/3 with a quad box on the end) for stage power, but I've heard shorter edison cables referred to as stingers as well.

Yup I was looking for a stinger not a stringer . We refer to the extension cords we use with edition plugs at the end as stingers. Also could have multiple plugs at the end as mentioned.

Although not lately for some reason, but I used to be able to find raw cable on ebay often. I also can get the ends fairly cheaply, but again not all the time. I found a vendor in Canada but he's out of stock on my preferred cable, which is 12/3 SJTW. I might have another source, but won't know until tomorrow.
