David to make it clear this is the one,=20 http://www.rapidonline.com/Tools-Equipment/Automatic-wire-stripper-CK-78216= , that I think is very good. All of my techs like it over anything else. Be= =20 careful of cheep Chinese nock offs. I bought a pair that were yellow and were no good. When I looked at them real good they=20 were not made like the red pairs I have but looked like them in general.

If you can buy anything else, don't buy this one. I can't say this brand is good or not, buy similar strippers are from China and work for a while and one day, under normal use, they don't do any more. -----Mensaje original----- De: piclist-bounces@mit.edu [mailto:piclist-bounces@mit.edu]En nombre de Derward Myrick Enviado el: Jueves, 23 de Agosto de 2012 04:14 p.m. Para: Microcontroller discussion list - Public. Asunto: Re: [EE] Automatic wire strippers David this one is the best I ever used. Other than the $5,000 one that I have that is an automatic stripper and cuter that takes a roll of wire and cuts to length and strips both ends. You just key in haw many and length plus the strip o= f each end. http://www.rapidonline.com/Tools-Equipment/= A utomatic-wire-stripper-CK-78216 Derward KD5WWI ----- Original Message ----- 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 -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist -- 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 --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
