I had this saved to bookmarks, and I clicked on it just now, and instead of the one I had booked marked, this one shows up. Must say, it is really nice.
Looking to get a wire stripper in a couple of weeks to go through all my wire and turn what I can into #2 copper.
The Authentic Manual Wire Stripper Stripping Machine | eBay
I like how there are guides to sharpen the blades yourself.
I own one of the previous models (the blue one a little way down the page). I dont do a lot of stripping anymore because of time constraints, but if i ever slow down i will have a pile ready. It is a great device. I had noticed a few of the design flaws and rigged this to work more efficiently, but now i see that they added parts to fix them....NICE! It also helps build the forearms, but is really suprisingly easy to use. The blade stays sharp a lot longer than i thought it would, but keep checking to make sure it is sharp and it will go through the cover real easy. I give it 2 thumbs up
Thanks for the review. Seriously leaning towards this one. I know there is drill powered ones, but sometime like this would be more better for me.Quote:

On that kind of wire it's better for me to use a box knife and I can strip wire just as fast.
I have the older one but I only strip #1 wire with it but works great
I will strip anything and everything minus really small wire....that just goes for insulated wire.Quote:

I have to say that is a nice looking stripper, but if the blades were better quality would they need sharpening. ??
Geo, I too, have the older version, which works extremely well. A bit of a learning curve to get the rollers and the cutting blade "just right". I have used it down to 14ga stranded wire, so far.
Their newer model looks much "prettier" :cool:
Mech: I'm surprised how long, one blade stays sharp. Of course, I haven't measured the total length of cable stripped, but it has been considerable.
Im sure, unless the blades are made out of some sort of really good material (what, I am not sure), then they would need sharpening. I am sure, like everything else, they will get dull after a while. However, according to the pictures in the ad, you just need an angle grinder and whatever that cut off disk is, and you can sharpen them up within minutes!Quote:

I am looking to be as portable with my tools as possible. Never know what type of jobs you will get, where portability is an essential asset!
Yeah, I have seen a LOT of good reviews on the other model. Main reason I booked marked it originally. Apparently, they have come out with the "guiding" system for the older one as well.Quote:
