    DOYOU - I have stripped some wire before, but never with a saw (has anyone else used a saw!). I know a reciprocating saw used on some materiel and bad blade selection is a bad experience. Lets just say it would be like an "E" ticket at Disneyland on a bad day! What exactly is the wire gauge of this wire? is it wire or cable? Don't want to see "ketchup" on anybody.

    Mr. Wolf,

    I have used Diablo brand carbide sawzall blades for cutting aluminum doors. Never tried cutting insulation off copper cable though. I got them from a specialty tool store. I picked up some Bosch brand carbide blades from the big blue box store for $18.97 for a two-pack.
