Consider the 3" spark plug boot with a bead around the end. Pull one off an old plug wire and use silicone spray to get the power wire thru it. Depending on the diameter of the cord, you may need to run a length of tubing thru to expand the boot, then pull the wire thru the tubing, then remove the tubing. I use brass tubing from the hobby shop. Each size slides over the next size down. About .002 between sizes. It could take some work to get the boot to fit the tool.

Are you looking for the entire cord or just the gromet? If you"re looking for the entire new cord, I came across a few catalogs here recently that carry them. I"ll look in the morning to see if they sell just the gromet. Hope this helps.

I am probably different than 99% of the posters here but I do not like long Cords on my Tools, and I have many. When I buy a new Corded Electric Tool, the long Cord is cut off leaving a 10" Pig Tail and a New 3 Prong 110V. Plug is attached. Long Cords are a nuisance for small breaks in the wrapping which become large breaks real fast.Most of the time I am too far from a Receptacle for the MFG. supplied Cord to reach anyway so an extension Cord is used. Works real well for me. No more winding Cords up an trying to fit them and the Tool back in the Case.

My business is abusive on cords. I fitted my inline Milwaukee grinders with the wound stainless steel "strain reliefs". These arn't cheap but neither is downtime with a bad cord.
Check at a local electical supply house. I'm thinking these are either Ideal or Hubble brand.

Steve,

What you are referring to are also known as "Kellum Grips" (probably manufacturer's name). They work like a Chinese finger cuff.

Its a grommet or strain relief.

I've had some luck using a piece of fuel hose around the wire for support in that area.

I can"t help you on a new part source.I get mine from a second-hand store,flea market,or auction. If I can"t buy a cord, I"ll buy a broken or as-is tool just for the cord.I always save a good cord, when I junk an old tool.
