Just wondering where I can find wire cutter/strippers that can handle 1/0 guage wires. Or, if they don't make them, what do people use to cut/strip 1/0 guage wire?

I be tossin and flossin, my style is awesome. Causin' more family feuds than Richard Dawson.

Get one of those extendable razors...open it up and cut down into the cover to the wire and go around. Then cut a line up and peel off..worked for me..

I need quality equipment, feel free to donate.

I use the same method as Maxst. They do have cable strippers out there that do large cable. You can find them at welding supply shops and probably industrial electrical supply shops

box cutters are alot easier to handle than just the blade and they only cost like $2 at the grocery store.

Razor blade, box cutter, utility knife...all work. But if you do it enough...the cutters kephart showed us work wonders...

I use a razor on anything bigger then 8 gauge. I don't know how many newbie installer's busted my crimpers trying to strip, cut, or crimp any wire 4 gauge or bigger.

Here is no doubt the best solution to your problem, head down to the local peeler bar, have a beer or two, and suck the stripper into doing it for you as part of her job description, who knows maybe you can sell her a stereo.
