    Anyone ever seen/used this wire stripper???

    Seems decent, and the description says it stripes wires from 24 AWG, which is what caught my attention, since I have a 55 Gal barrel overflowing with automotive wire...

    Wanna know if anyone's ever seen this or even used it? Seems relatively inexpensive compared to others.

    Yeah I have that exact same one. I love it. It works great for pretty much any size wire. Only pain is getting it dialed it, but once you do get it dialed in its a piece of cake. I think it only took me about 10 minutes to dial it in. Once you have it dialed in all it takes is slight adjustments for different sized wires.

    I have not used that same exact model but the one I have uses the same concept. It works great. Best part, it is inexpensive.

    I would say buy it immediately! That is the same model I have and I've had great luck with it. It paid for itself after my first trip to the yard.

    I have that one as well. I like it a lot. you gotta make sure your wire is as straight as you can get it though. Plus i haven' had much luck with stripping the "spongy" power cords. Seem the insulation gives way too much and makes it hard to get a clean cut.

    Works great and fast for the bigger stuff!!

    Plus you might wanna look around a bit on ebay. I only paid around $60 for mine.

    I figured I could get through the barrel in a few weeks with the manual one, but this one looks like it could do it in an hour, and make me supper...
    If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...

    I have it and like it. Like others have said, it takes practice to adjust it. you will want to sort your wire by gauge and insulation to save time adjusting. I also use the pliers style strippers to strip the ends to make them feed into the machine easier.

    Seems a tad pricier than other models that operate with the same concept, but the blade sharpening jig would be very handy, and the separate-as-you-cut attachment would be the bee's knees if it works as advertised.

    I bought the one linked in this post: http://www.scrapmetalforum.com/tools...tml#post153762

    Mine wasn't the one the thread was named after: it cost 75 bucks including shipping & 2 extra (total of 4) blades. Quite happy with it.

    You could also add a piece of tubing or PVC right before the stripper to help straighten the wire out before going into the machine.
