David this one is the best I ever used. Other than the $5,000 one that I=20 have that is an automatic stripper and cuter that takes a roll of wire and cuts= =20 to length and strips both ends. You just key in haw many and length plus the strip o= f=20 each end. = =20 = =20 = =20 = =20 = =20 http://www.rapidonline.com/Tools-Equipment/= Automatic-wire-stripper-CK-78216 Derward KD5WWI ----- Original Message -----=20 From: "David" To: Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2012 4:25 PM Subject: [EE] Automatic wire strippers Has anybody got opinions on "automatic" wire strippers such as those linked below? Are they recommended or just gimmicks? Until now I have been using a very old pair of strippers which have a screw/nut to adjust the width. This is annoying as it is quite hard to set accurately. I am mostly stripping stranded & unstranded thin wire for PCB assembly and prototyping, but also thicker wire from power supplies etc. Happy to pay a bit more than =A32.50 for a pair of wire strippers that work. http://www.rapidonline.com/Tools-Equipment/Weicon-Professional-Wire-Strippe= r-No-5-86-0320/ David --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
