This is wonderful! I am thrilled to see these wire strippers make their way to one of the E14 Rockstars! Happy Holidays [emoticon:6d505171faa4497c85c5ca27290c555d]

What a fun way to spread some cheer in the E14 community thanks to [mention:226eb1b71bb24dd3b98a7165493eddea:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05]

Does it work down to 30 gage wire?

It would be nice to see an in depth study on wire stripping tools - they are important. I have a bunch of types and I have used a bunch at work and I almost always end up using the cheapest ones I have (with a set of needle nose pliers to hold the wire). It seems I am often stripping in tight quarters where a big fancy stripper can't fit, or there isn't enough wire for the big stripper to grip, or the fancy stripper is a bit out of calibration for the type of wire I am stripping, or it simply doesn't work as well as the cheap strippers. How can a semi-automated stripper do a cable where only only a very short section of wire extends out of the cable (because the backshell needs to grip the bigger cable jacket). If someone has found a really good solution that works for 22 gage through 32 gage in tight locations, I would be interested in seeing a review.

A great idea! I have been manually gauging length and setting wire diameter for years.

Regardless of how much desk space I have, it always soon disappers under clutter.

Safety glasses are invaluable. I have a right eye because I was actually wearing a pair. I took a washer - launched by a table saw - right to the center of the right lens of a pair. It was like getting punched full force in the eye but I can still see.

I agree, you only have two eyes and they are not replaceable.

Always wear eye protection.

I picked up an extendable magnet at Dollar General which works just fine for metal bits.

When I drop something, a magnet only helps if I can see the thing.

I really need a quantum transfunctioner to find things I drop , because they go into a black hole.
