Any recommendations on a Wire Stripper?
Looking to get one on Feebay. Anyone has good luck with any of them??
Would need one for medium duty use perhaps. For Stripping couple hundred lbs of wire every few months. Say 1/8" to maybe 1" thick.

Thanks for any help!

My scrap yard deduct for burnt wire call it dirty. The way a friend taught me was to put one end in a vise and then take a utility knife and pull it towards you and strip it that way. Pretty fast

Sounds like a good way to castrate yourself

If u burn it off you will loose $ bare bright is top dollar burnt wire will be classed #2 CU .The type of tool u need depends on the type of wire you want to strip [the fatter the wire the better] its usually easier if pretty new. Any way I have used everything from a box cutter to a paring knife ,If u have a lot of wire to strip pratice will let u know what tool is best .p.s be prepared to cut up your hands so be careful .

Wow, that one is pricey. I bought this on ebay for under 100. it gets the job done. don't know how well it will work on the heaviest wire you were talking about.

There are a lot for sale on Ebay. i bought one a couple months ago paid 180.00 for auto feed has already paid for itself. I live in Florida and we no longer can burn wire must be stripped or sold as # 2 wire bringing .79 pound where as stripped wire goes as # 2 copper bringing $2.79 pound. Wayne
