Will Prowes or whatever the spelling has this as one of his recommended tools. Its a fun channel full of pep and vigor and optimism you know the type. Good guy that leads millions of lemmings.
Possibly to their death.
Of their wallet.
Everything that isn't his suggestion will "Burn your house down" I think that's his trademark.
I haven't like any of the tools he suggested on his site that I have purchased. I have returned them all. I wanted to go with some of his larger equipment ideas, but I think many are outdated.
I had this "gadget" for a few weeks didn't see the point of it over the standard wire stripper. It was weird didn't do as good a job in some cases, cost more, was heavier and sometimes slipped. I showed it to my electrician friend he laughed and showed me his wire stripper it was larger than mine but its the standard wire strippers.
Maybe if you wanted to be real careful and slow about your wire stripping, AND I wasn't operating it correctly.
Not sure this really has a need, but I am an armature.
Back to Will this probably isn't fair but when you have a charismatic salesman slinging his wares (or Ideas) detractors don't get a voice in. Not to put people down but id like to run a site that keeps these type honest.... I wonder what SD thinks of that idea.

I ordered because I used one (or extremely similar) years ago on the job and it was my preferred tool because it really minimized nicking the copper wire or messing up the remaining insulation, hopefully this one is just as good

You'll have to let us know.
This is probably for the ultra-careful. Ive got too many things going on. But on the other hand, sometimes I like to make sure I get the job done right.
Id like something for smaller gauge wires that I have ran into. In those cases I have used the lighter method. Basically soften the plastic and use my finger to strip it away. Wouldn't mind more comments on that method.

Got them in, they're as good as I remember. Just be sure to depress handles all the way before slowly releasing so it lets go of the wire, and remove the wire before completely releasing the handles because the mechanism will snap back and mess up your wire otherwise.
