Seems decent, and the description says it stripes wires from 24 AWG, which is what caught my attention, since I have a 55 Gal barrel overflowing with automotive wire...
Wanna know if anyone's ever seen this or even used it? Seems relatively inexpensive compared to others.

Yeah I have that exact same one. I love it. It works great for pretty much any size wire. Only pain is getting it dialed it, but once you do get it dialed in its a piece of cake. I think it only took me about 10 minutes to dial it in. Once you have it dialed in all it takes is slight adjustments for different sized wires.
I have not used that same exact model but the one I have uses the same concept. It works great. Best part, it is inexpensive.Quote:

I would say buy it immediately! That is the same model I have and I've had great luck with it. It paid for itself after my first trip to the yard.
I have that one as well. I like it a lot. you gotta make sure your wire is as straight as you can get it though. Plus i haven' had much luck with stripping the "spongy" power cords. Seem the insulation gives way too much and makes it hard to get a clean cut.
Works great and fast for the bigger stuff!!
Plus you might wanna look around a bit on ebay. I only paid around $60 for mine.
I figured I could get through the barrel in a few weeks with the manual one, but this one looks like it could do it in an hour, and make me supper...Quote:

I have it and like it. Like others have said, it takes practice to adjust it. you will want to sort your wire by gauge and insulation to save time adjusting. I also use the pliers style strippers to strip the ends to make them feed into the machine easier.
Seems a tad pricier than other models that operate with the same concept, but the blade sharpening jig would be very handy, and the separate-as-you-cut attachment would be the bee's knees if it works as advertised.
I bought the one linked in this post: http://www.scrapmetalforum.com/tools...tml#post153762
Mine wasn't the one the thread was named after: it cost 75 bucks including shipping & 2 extra (total of 4) blades. Quite happy with it.
use a similar one, works pretty good
hey kochy, let me know how that $1200 one works haha
Perfect guys, thanks a lot!
It seems as an overkill !Quote:
