    i have the same wire stripper and it says it will strip wire from 2mm to 15mm(i havent done any bigger,but have done smaller). i can run any size solid wire i get through it. with the smaller gauge wires it gets harder to cut the insulation off the stranded wires without cutting the copper into little pieces, so i take the drill off and use the handle for better control.i try to cut just deep enough that i dont cut all the way through the plastic,then pull the copper out by hand. like miked said it takes a little playing with to get it set,but when it is set just right, it can fly through wire. when im doing power cords and the wire is pre-sorted, i can get 8 or 10 lbs of copper an hour while watching tv.i love this wire stripper.great pictures miked.
