Cable insulation strippers for larger diameter cable

Post by TheOtherLeft »

Hiya fellas,

Is there a tool to strip the insulation from larger diameter cables, eg 8AWG and bigger? Something a bit safer and more accurate then a Stanley knife.

I have cable strippers for smaller diameter cable but a friend with very little experience wants a tool to strip the larger cables.

Thanks,
Ben

Tell him to go to an electrical wholesaler they have a small tool(can't remember it's name) which you tighten onto the cable then swing it around the cable and a little blade in the middle slowly cuts through the insulation. at the wholesaler I use they are about $20
