    20min is a long time in my eyes. I was using a pretty dull knife for the past week cause I couldn't find my box cutter in the garage and I did all 3 I had in that time or under. I just cut it about 1/4 or maybe 1/3 of the way down, put gloves on, wrap the copper around my hand, step on the plastic and pull. Copper comes through the plastic a lot easier than cutting the whole thing. I also do it just cause I would rather see my copper bucket fill up rather than my thick unstriped wire bucket which doesn't nor has ever existed cause I can't bare to not strip atleast them cords. It takes a time or 2 to get it down but very worth it in the end.
