    Wire stripper

    Hello I am looking for a bit of advice in the area of wire strippers. I need a better one since I take on hundreds of pounds of wire frequently. I have a drill mounted tnt tooling but I need one where I can do it without setting and fast. It also needs to handle smaller wires from about 16 gauge to a lot larger. This is hard to find and I do not want some dinky stripper, I need a good one that has many slots and a nice design that can strip tons of wire and romex. I am looking more along the lines of what a small scrapyard would use. Thanks

    There are several brands for sale on ebay and lots of videos on youtube from companies who are selling them as well. When I was doing my research I found some that had several holes for different gauges of wire.

    After speaking with an experienced user he said one of the more important things to look for is ease of adjustment. As I recall the prices I was looking at were between $1500-$2000. I chose not to purchase the new wire stripper because my volume of wire did not justify the expense. Good luck, Mike

    Yea.. Those are smaller then the ones I have, I need a large industrial one. I was looking at the meegabee but shipping is 500 alone, so I really need something made in America

    You need something bigger than this? I highly doubt it.
