    Wire Stripper, YES, again...

    I dug a bunch of flex conduit out of the ice and snow from a new restaraunt remodel, pulled the wire and most of it is 12 or 14 gauge solid house wire. Started stripping it, and now my hand hurts from dragging the utility knife down the length of it. Question here is;
    Would you buy the wire stripping machine off fleabay and hope the payload from what I get covers it, or strip it by hand, enduring the cramps and nice gashes on the thumb? Im looking at the $80 drill operated stripper (Boy that sounds funnier in type).
    I have no scale and cant do the math like some of you geniuses, but Im really hoping someone says buy it and it will make life in the future much easier...

    I bought one probably the same as you're looking at. Used on probably ten feet of wire. Don't need it anymore. If interested, send me a PM.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
