    Handheld wire strippers

    Like to upgrade to a homemade wire stripper in the future but for now it's handheld. Was just curious if anybody still used these types of wire strippers?

    They're a pair of my dads that I found after he passed away. Over 20yrs old but work alot than the normal ones everywhere nowadays

    Those are cool. Never seen anything like it. Please demonstrate in a video how they work.

    Handheld wire strippers

    Yea, I can post one in the next day or 2. Only have internet on my phone but it's not quick enough to load a video.
    They work awesome. One side grips the wire while the other side splices it and pushes the piece you spliced off the wire. Saves a whole lot of arm strength I'd normally use trying to tug insulation off with the other ones

    Jon, I think with some research you'll find their a lot older than that. I have one put away as a collectable. My step-dad had one back in the '80's and they looked old then.
