48A001 - Walter Replacement Strain Relief Boot for Grinders

Genuine Walter Cord Protector for Electric Tools

The Walter 48-A-001 Cord Protector is an essential replacement component designed to maintain the safety and longevity of Walter electric power tools. Often referred to as a strain relief boot, this component plays a critical role in the electrical integrity of handheld grinders and finishing tools. It is engineered to reinforce the power cord at its most vulnerable point—right where it enters the machine housing.

During operation, power tools are subjected to constant movement, twisting, and pulling. Without a functioning cord protector, the electrical cable can bend sharply against the tool's casing, leading to insulation damage, exposed wires, and potential short circuits. This genuine Walter part is manufactured from high-quality, flexible polymer materials that absorb these mechanical stresses, ensuring the cord remains intact and safe for the operator.

Professional maintenance of industrial tools requires using OEM parts to ensure compliance with safety standards. The 48-A-001 fits securely into the housing of compatible Walter tools, providing a tight seal that also helps prevent dust and debris from entering the electrical switch compartment. Whether you are repairing a severed cord or performing preventative maintenance, installing a new cord protector is a standard best practice for industrial MRO.

Key Technical Benefits

• Strain Relief: Distributes bending forces over a larger area to prevent copper fatigue and wire breakage.


• Safety Compliance: Helps maintain the tool's double-insulation or grounding integrity by protecting the outer cable jacket.


• OEM Fitment: Designed specifically for Walter Surface Technologies equipment, ensuring a secure fit without modification.
