    Aluminum wire recovery rate

    I was wondering if stripping 10awg aluminum is better left as is anyone have experience on aluminum wire recovery rate on small wire vs 4/0? Is all aluminum the same recovery rate say 4/0 some of the wires aren't marked. Just got some today gona strip wire tomarrow. Most of it is 1/0 to 4/0 and some smaller stuff to. Hope the batteries hold out. I'm using a hyper tough drill and hyper tough batteries I have 2 of them Walmart brand it's done well this far. I ended up with 65lbs of bare from romex I did.

    I do tend to type in the wrong words sometimes then nothing comes up sometimes. Like the xhhw and even using Google sometimes don't do so well. People don't post videos of everything I guess haha.
