$5 Stripper

Saw this on Lowes dot com and though it was an interesting concept.

So I guess it is just you slide the wire through? for 5 bucks may be a worthwhile thing. Stinks that i was just there last night though.

My bf got one last weekend to try out. He said it's ok for big wire but it takes a lot of effort to pull the wire through. More trouble than its worth.

Yea, I would understand that, prolly just better for actual electritions triong to find an easy stripper, (no pun intended). But hey im getting pretty good at the utility knife method!

I was wondering if maybe folks could make their own- maybe with PVC pipe and mount the blade horizontally instead of vertically....

Thought about getting a clamp like this and trying to figure something out.

I bought one a few weeks ago. Utility knife works better, faster and blades last longer. It's okay for getting the outer cover off or romex, but still utility knife is quicker.
