Nice little wire stripper

I had this saved to bookmarks, and I clicked on it just now, and instead of the one I had booked marked, this one shows up. Must say, it is really nice.

Looking to get a wire stripper in a couple of weeks to go through all my wire and turn what I can into #2 copper.

The Authentic Manual Wire Stripper Stripping Machine | eBay

I like how there are guides to sharpen the blades yourself.

It is a great device. I had noticed a few of the design flaws and rigged this to work more efficiently, but now i see that they added parts to fix them....NICE! It also helps build the forearms, but is really suprisingly easy to use. The blade stays sharp a lot longer than i thought it would, but keep checking to make sure it is sharp and it will go through the cover real easy. I give it 2 thumbs up

Thanks for the review. Seriously leaning towards this one. I know there is drill powered ones, but sometime like this would be more better for me.

On that kind of wire it's better for me to use a box knife and I can strip wire just as fast.

I will strip anything and everything minus really small wire....that just goes for insulated wire.

depending on how small I will just use a handheld stripall stripper

I have to say that is a nice looking stripper, but if the blades were better quality would they need sharpening. ??
