I'm about to do the big 3 on my blazer. I have the wire, the vise to crimp but I have no idea how the hell to cut this huge wire and strip it. What do you guys do?

I picked up something pretty similar to that at Home Depot. It cuts through 1/0 with EASE and only cost about $15. Then, just strip it with an exacto knife or something.

I have one from Home Depot. Takes some getting used to but it works great as a stripper as well. Even on smaller gauges, it works great.

usually i can cut it with a good utility knife by making a few sawing motions and also strip with the knife.
