2 inches of wet snow in Vancouver BC and it's pandamonium! All-season tires don't cut it, there are wrecks everywhere. I'm 300 miles north of there and the locals know how to prepare their vehicles...

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...
