Auto Wire Strippers

#1 will strip wires in the middle, without cutting. #2 will only strip the ends.
The best wire strippers I have ever used are Kronus from Radio Shack. They look like the ones in Snova's post but heavier duty. I've used them over and over again every day for over 3 years now with no problems.

those are the nastiest looking strippers i have ever seen, well, 2nd only to

do they carry them in-store?

i lost my lowes ones

I don't use the automatic ones. I have klien tools regular strippers and they are the shit

Those ones they sell mentioned 2 posts above are junk. I can't get them to work good on wire with thicker than average sheathing.

Be sure they are metal. The plastic ones work ok for most jobs, but not all.

I wish they could strip 0 gauge //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif That would be the shit....

0 gauge sheathing's already so thick, tho

it's too much fun diggin in to it with some scissors or a knife

mmmmmm, satisfying

I have a set like #2 and they work well on larger gauge wires (12-8 gauge).
I'd recommend a set like these however:

I haven't gone a day at work without using my set of automatic stippers like the ones pictured above...they are the shit.

Ditto those are what I use at work. We probably have 6sets of them. Great for remote starts/alarms.
