    Again I agree. I find setting wire in vise and getting each length of wire ready takes much longer then the actual time to "score" or slice the wire.
    I say score because some wire will strip if just scored yet others work better to slice the insulation.
    If I can just pull my blade down 8 foot of wire it saves much time starting and stopping with shorts
