I had looked at it for awhile. It used to be $100, but the price came down and they have even added some stuff to it.



$80 free shipping.

I think some others have purchased this unit as well

I just bought this one.

You can see the price I paid. I negotiated a flat price so I could get it now and not wait around. A member of the forum who lives near by has one and showed it to me. I'm not convinced it is a great tool but I am hopeful it will get me started. I have 4-500 lb of insulated on hand and expect to pick up more. Best of luck with the new stripper, Mike.

Nice load to strip. Keep on stripping!

Can't wait till you figure out how to rig an adjustable drill to it for the longer runs, or hire a kid to crank it for you. You will need some type of strap setup to tie down the drill. Maybe multiple Velcro straps,,,

Yea, I'm working that out in my mind right now. When I get it set up and I am happy with it I will take pictures. I am going to mount it to a small desk I have in the shop and see how it goes from there. Mike.

Please explain? Mike

"Hi, I’m Peter Grifin. You know we’ve had a lot of laughs tonight, but I’ll tell you what’s not funny; killing strippers. Strippers are people too, naked people who may be willing to pleasure you for a price you negotiate later behind a curtain in the VIP room. Besides, there’s no need to kill them ‘cause most of them are already dead inside. Goodnight everyone."

i wish you the best of luck... i bought the same one a few months ago and in my opinion...its crap...
you will have to adjust it every 5 seconds... the product is not bulit the way it should be... its not level..its a pain in the butt.. i have nothing good to say about it.. i figured it would work great when i got it , boy was i wrong i found a bunch of things that could have been done better with it, they didnt use grease in the fitings, but some kind of oil that just leaked out after a few hours and the knobs you need to turn to adjust for size kept binding up... they were welded uneven so when you tried to adjust the space between the blade it would never match up.. like i said i hope they improved it with that "NEW DESIGN" they are putting on the listing... good luck let me know if you have the same issues..

You could probably rig up the drill with some large hose clamps. Then take a smaller one to clamp down the trigger to whatever speed you want, then wire it into a foot pedal from a sewing machine.

If you don't want to wire it in, they make pedals that directly plug in, like this.

I wouldn't pay $30 though.

Please explain? Mike

I was referring to the picture of the dead stripper.

[kcscrapper]

I got one. It's makes stripping the wire around the tube easy but I always cut the wire do have to we're gloves. But take less than a min to strip one wire.

Parrothead, I figured it out later and all I have to say is I am a little old and slow. I do have a sense of humor just too slow on the uptake sometimes.

Idaho Scrapper, on the foot pedal controller Harbor Freight sells one as well. If this works out I may get a small a/c motor and a foot pedal to run it. I will start with the cordless drill and see how it goes, Mike.

[parrothead]

You can get a foot pedal from many old scrap sewing machines. I have used these in the past when I want to have a variable outlet. Hook the pedal feeding an outlet and you have a portable variable control outlet. Just make sure not to plug anything into it that can't handle low voltage.

Here is one on E-bay that has the outlet already. http://www.ebay.com/itm/universal-ho...item3a6b01d17a

I am sure there are cheaper ones. That is the first one that i saw.

Same idea, just scrap out an old sewing machine and there is your controller and motor.

I'm wondering if a sewing machine motor would have enough torque to pull heavier wire through the stripper (same thing with a cordless drill). A 1/2" drill (corded/ plug-in version) would probably be OK, but I would be interested in feedback from someone who has tried this.

I have one of these, and really makes short work of degaussing cable, as long as you cut out the section that is thicker than the other.

[parrothead]

I got it today. 2 dissapointments right off the bat. The first I realised before I got it. I knew I would not be able to use it where I wanted to because of my vise placement, so wanted to clamp it in the vice. Bolts did not have enough thread on them so I had to scrounge up some spacers in order to put it together and clamp it down. No biggy, I knew that was going to happen. It would be nice if it was able to clamp in a vice right out of the box though.

I proceded to set it up and run a couple of degaussing cables through it because they were handy. I set it all up and started setting the wheells, the blade etc. Hold on, that new attachment makes it really difficult to adjust the blade. strike 2. I ended up pulling a couple through without the new guide attachment.

I was pleased with the operation of it besides that, but have yet to give it any real test. That will be comign in the next couple of days. It is very well built and hopefully will not have anymore shortcomings in the near future.

Parrothead, you've had this a while, any more reviews since buying it?
