    There are resources posted in the threads many times about how ft/lb for wire. Also easily googleable. And lots of people don't strip much or even all wire, preferring to spend that time instead sourcing more wire to sell as is. Deciding on which strategy works best probably hinges upon material availability and hauling capacity.
