i saw an infomercial for an automatic wire stripper last night and it looked like the dopest thing ever. i hate nothing more than to sit in a car in a weird position and spend 10 minutes stripping wire.

has anyone used one of these wire strippers and if so does it work like they show? i think that it could be a tool that every person who works in electronic could use if it works like they say ( i know how infomercial people are)

Yeah, I got one too. Hasnt broke yet, but it dont work quite as easilly as they make it look. Still cant beat a standard pair of strippers.

Most automatic strippers are pieces of crap.

I like my auto stripper that I picked up from Parts Express. I've used it exclusively for all my wire stripping needs and it has performed flawlessly. You need to be realistic with your tools and can't expect to strip 4 Ga wire w/ something designed only for 10-22 Ga.

If you can find the auto stripper made by GB Electrical Inc. That tool will auto strip standard sized cables with consistent performance, without wire damage.

There are two versions of the auto stripper, buy the one which looks like a standard plier set. The other one is not consistent in its performance.

As TonyPTX stated, the user needs to be realistic as to the application and the material being used.

I haven't used auto stripper, I use the original good old wire strippers, and a knife.

Do those auto stripper fit on a 0/1/4/8 guage power / ground wire.

the auto stripper i had was junk. didnt cut through the casing, just stretched it. i just use a stripper i found at home depot in an electricians kit. it only has stripping part and a cutter, have to use another for crimping but the stripper/cutter is the best i have ever used.
