    Ever had to strip wire with a sawzall?

    Well not only is this insulation thick but its axtremely tough. My uncle told me i couldnt do it with a razor or knife and showed me a technique for doing it with a sawzall. I really didnt believe him because i have a very sharp sturdy knife that can cut darn near anything.

    Well it wouldnt cut this so i'm using my sawzall on high speed with a 18 tpi blade. I ziptie one end of the wire around a piece of sucker rod i pounded into the ground and then stretch the cable (wire doesnt do it justice) taught and clamp it in my vice. I then proceed to use the sawzall as you would use a knife except with both hands for safety. At your own risk is right though im comfortable with power tools and have been using them a long time so if you havent dont try this at home!
