going to suck it up and buy a wire stripper.

found this on ebay. i thought it was a great deal and ill be ordering somtime this week. ill let you guys know how it works

That is the one I am wanting should I ever decidde to get one.

Mick, do you ever just bite the bullet and sell it as insulated ?

i usually HATE spending money, but i figure this will help me make more money, and pay for itself after a while, ill get it. I found that stripping wire by hand isnt worth it, but with this it makes it look so easy. Im hopefully ordering it tonight or tomorrow.

I hate to start another thread so ill just ask here. does anyone know what this is and a guess on what it weighs? i found it in the woods the other day

Actually it would be a dethatcher. That looks like the daddy to this little guy.

looks like farm equipment, or some kind of weird cage.

just placed my order. should have it by the 5th

That would be my guess, or some kind of thatcher. I vote for thatcher.....and not Margaret.

whatever it is its heavy! and hopefully will be mine soon

I have the exact same on. My wife bought it for my birthday. It works great! Takes a little getting use to when setting the depth of the blade. Much better then my old way with a utility knife. LOL

Thats what i was hoping the utility knife way sucked! i stripped 35 ish pounds of it and i had over 15-20 man hours into doing it. should make my life 10x easier especially with all the wiring ive been getting lately

and thanks parrothead, it does look exactly the same. id actually call it the great grandfather of that one though lol

Jersey, too bad you didn't realize it sooner or you could have sent it back for a refund.

We call that a "tedder" where I'm from, it tosses the hay up to turn it for drying.

Dang, that looks awesome. Been thinkin about buying one. I've got a ridiculous amount of dirty that is BEGGING to be stripped.
