User questions & answers

Question:	These are rated for 10-22 gauge but can they strip 8 gauge
Answer:	I have some 8 gauge 133/29 tinned Marine copper wire with a PVC jacket. The 8 GA. marine wire with PVC jacket didn't slip right in from the side needed to be pushed in from the front. The first strip was fairly bad, wire was uneven and developed bird cages. However the second strip went much better and the stranded wire was straight. However were the stripper cut into the PVC insulation on both side of the wire the cut wasn't straight 90 degrees, the insulation was cut a wedge shape on both sides of the wire. so there's a gap approx. 1/8" that wedge shape from the wire to the full diameter of the insulation. Though it may work to install a connector it's not considered in the trade to be a viable strip. The stripper needs to cut the insulation at 90 degrees from the wire so a when installing a connector there no gap between the insulation and connector terminal. So I would have to answer NO it won't, at least on some 8 gauge wire and insulation. The wire I tried stripping is 8 AWG AWM style 1029 or AWM style 1231 E73051 105C 600 volts VW-1 CSA TEW AWM T A/6 1050 600 VOLT FT1 LL45926 Sold as 8ga Stranded Tinned Copper (133/29) UL1028, TEW, PVC Primary Wire TEW stands for Thermoplastic Equipment Wire

User questions & answers

Question:	how long of handles
Answer:	I use a 6 gallon works have had no problems.
Question:	A piece of a screw has gotten caught in the screw shearing hole of the pliers. Is there anyway you can help me with this problem? Thanks
Answer:	No it will not. Roofing nails will jam up in the gun
Question:	Does this tool strip the wire as soon as it cuts it
Answer:	Hmm. That's a good question. The Amazon listing is a bit lacking on that detail. It's obviously not 0.2 pounds; that's some sort of typo. The shipping weight is listed as 7.7 pounds, so I would hazard a guess that the bare weight is about 7 pounds.
