    Wire stripping device

    What is the best way to strip insulated wire? I have tried to make one with legs broken off of an old chair and drilling a hole in it and screwing a razor blade into it. I've seen the stripmeister but have 2 kids and a 3rd on the way.

    I'm kind of in the same boat minus the kid part. I was thinking of spending a little money on this one:

    I work out of my garage and will just be stripping computer wires.

    E-waste wires with the biggest probably Power cords from radios and tvs and things like that. Not really big stuff.

    I bought a stripper like Capitalrecovery showed from a seller on Ebay. Cheap with free shipping. Having never even seen one I was able to set it up and in about 10 minutes strip over a pound of bare bright. I have about 500 pounds more insulated wire yet to strip. Guess by the time prices go back up I will be almost ready.
