That is the one I am wanting should I ever decidde to get one.

[Mick]

Be sure and let us know. My pile of wire needing to be stripped is getting out of control.

[Dumpster-Dee]

Mick, do you ever just bite the bullet and sell it as insulated ?

[vamped400]

i usually HATE spending money, but i figure this will help me make more money, and pay for itself after a while, ill get it. I found that stripping wire by hand isnt worth it, but with this it makes it look so easy. Im hopefully ordering it tonight or tomorrow.

I hate to start another thread so ill just ask here. does anyone know what this is and a guess on what it weighs? i found it in the woods the other day

I haven't but would the little stranded stuff. So far, I've just saved it. Never solid core, though.

Looks like an old style hay rake. Maybe horse-drawn.

[parrothead]

That would be my guess, or some kind of thatcher. I vote for thatcher.....and not Margaret.

[parrothead]

Actually it would be a dethatcher. That looks like the daddy to this little guy.

whatever it is its heavy! and hopefully will be mine soon

I have the exact same on. My wife bought it for my birthday. It works great! Takes a little getting use to when setting the depth of the blade. Much better then my old way with a utility knife. LOL

Thats what i was hoping the utility knife way sucked! i stripped 35 ish pounds of it and i had over 15-20 man hours into doing it. should make my life 10x easier especially with all the wiring ive been getting lately

and thanks parrothead, it does look exactly the same. id actually call it the great grandfather of that one though lol

[jerseyscrapper]

i purchased the same stripper about 3 months agi, and i have a hard time with it in the beginning... this item could have a little imporvment... the wheels that tighten the wire are of center the blades they give you are nothing special,,,, to be honest i should have saved some for cash and purchased the one that another guy is selling on ebay small silver one you can attach to a drill press. i thik i will make that purchase soon, because this one helped but it could have a little better in my honest opinion... good luck with it.

Jersey, too bad you didn't realize it sooner or you could have sent it back for a refund.

[murt]

We call that a "tedder" where I'm from, it tosses the hay up to turn it for drying.

[TheHoss]

Dang, that looks awesome. Been thinkin about buying one. I've got a ridiculous amount of dirty that is BEGGING to be stripped.

[Mechanic688]

I found these to be interesting and made in the USA, but I didn't price them tho,,,
