    Coppermine or TNT stripper?

    I'm kind of stuck between the 210 from Coppermine and the WSA from TNT...any experience with either or both?

    Personally the Dynamite Stripper seems more enticing. I use a home made version found on this site. With a little modification, you can strip miles and miles of cooper in little time. Good luck at stripping - your wire.

    I have the wsa from TNT. Not to impressed with it. Does alright with undamaged wire. I mostly use a fillet knife.

    I like the coppermine stripped I bought, other than sometimes the screws that tighten or loosen the rollers back off the rollers, making me have to fiddle with it trying to get it back together

    Agreed. I also have the wsa. If you get it juuuuuuuuuust right, it will pay for itself in about a day. But there is such a VERY fine line between scoring the insulation and picking shredded copper out of your socks all night.

    I'm biased toward the TNT WSA stripper. Its a cool little tool and I've stripped lots of shiny, bright copper wire with it. Plus it has the added advantage of being able to strip numerous sizes of wire without stopping for adjustment. I don't think you can say the same for the others mentioned.

    The one machine I owned was tough to keep in adjustment. It was recommended by others that replacing the set screws that hold the cutting blades with American made set screws. The difference in the set screws was the Chinese manufactured set screws are a softer steel. 73, Mike

    Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked
