    Cool Have you ever seen this wire stripping tool, yet?

    I'm I just late to knowing about this, or is this the coolest for being so cheap!!





    I think I bought it off EBay for about $18.00. We have no affiliation with this company just like the tool! What are your thoughts?

    It looks like its also cutting the Inner insulated easy as well?

    Looks like a handy tool to have. CMHN posted a video "stripping wire (DIY wirestripper)" and I have been using one of these since I saw the video. Also, I find it easier and faster to bare about an inch of the end of the wire with an electrician's wire stripper so that I can grab the copper without having to fumble and fish for it. You probably cut the ends off the cord first and start stripping from one end, not the middle, right? Cool shirt!

    Well my stripper arrived today, it seems to work, the little bit i've played with it this evening, main thing is getting the blade adjusted properly, and have the wire feed thru as straight as possible. it'll get more of a test tomorrow.

    I've had this same thing for about a year now. Tried it a couple times and never seemed to be able to get it to strip right, so it's been sitting in with the other misc tools ever since.. My biggest problem was that the wire would not stay in between the handles and as you pull it through, the blade would slip off the insulation, making uneven cuts if it even scored the insulated at all after slipping off.

    At the time, it was $5.00 or so and was worth a try. Fairly certain there is a thread about it already.
