Let us know. I'm always leery of stuff like that.
People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

It says that it comes with a replacement blade. After that, how much are they? I can see going through blades pretty good. If it doesn't take a standard blade, I would steer clear of it, but the concept does look workable.

Smart thinking bro. I looked around and found replacement blade cartridges.Originally Posted by parrothead
Here is a link should anyone end up buying this tool.

Ouch. That is expensive.

I bought it. Can't know it's durability until someone tries it. Should have it by 3/6/11.

Well it's pretty bad. I tried it with the smallest size wire it recommended (1/8'') for about an hour, trying every possible way you can hold it, slide it etc, but it doesn't work. It'll score the insulation, but not to any consistency, or make it any easier to separate the insulation from the wire.
Oh well, mistakes are the best way to learn.

thanks cause i was just about to order it... sorry for your loss though.

I'm pretty happy with the one I got. Link
It was $75.69 with the unit and a set of 2 replacement blades. I probably could've held off on getting extra blades since they appear to last awhile... I've been using it pretty heavy for a week and just now needed to sharpen the first blade, and there's plenty of 'meat' on them to last through numerous sharpenings. These things will DEFINITELY pay for themselves quickly, especially if you do a lot of TV degaussing cables. Plus, it's great to turn 60-cent or 1-dollar a pound insulated wire into $2.80 a pound copper!

That tool is "magic" imo. I bought one 6 months or so ago off of e-bay. Forget the seller's name, but it came with a small "cutting" attachment that you bolted to the bottom frame, so that you can strip a few inches of insulation away, to get the stripping process started.

I just push an inch or two through the wheels from behind with the side wheels set correctly, but the bottom wheel loose, then tighten the bottom wheel to the sweet spot and pull the rest of the wire through. The copper will still pull right out pretty easily. Stripping multiple wires of the same guage makes it go faster, but even changing guages isn't all that complicated.
