Self-Adjusting Wire Strippers
TOL-14872
DESCRIPTION
Let’s face it, wire strippers can be problematic to use if you aren’t sure what
your doing and it could result in you accidentally wasting material. Lucky for you,
there is this Self-Adjusting Wire Stripper that can take any almost any wire,
place it in the head of the tool, compress the handles, and you will have a
perfectly stripped wire every time. This Self-Adjusting Wire Stripper also doubles
as a wire cutter and triples as an insulated and non-insulated crimper as well!
Although these wire strippers are rated for 10-24AWG, they do feature an
adjustable swivel knob to strip wire smaller than 24AWG making them ideal to
have as part of your workbench or tool box, regardless of if you are a maker,
technician, or homeowner.

Strip Several Wires at Once
last updated about 4 months ago
The self adjusting wire stripper can also strip more than one wire at a time if you place the wires adjacent to each other between the teeth.
EL Wire

This tool makes it easier to modifying EL wire. Simply adjust the knob and strip the clear sleeve to expose the corona wires. If you are careful enough,
the second clear PVC sleeve can be removed to expose the phosphor coated core wire. For an example, check out the tutorial Instructables: EL Wire
and Leather Necklace: Step 4.

Will these strippers remove the enamel insulation from the type of wire used for winding toroid transformers,
chokes, etc.?

I just tested this out and adjusted the knob to reduce the grip on a 26AWG and 30AWG magnet wire.
Unfortunately, this just rips the wire apart. The thicker gauge wires scrapped some of the enamel off with
the tool’s left teeth but it was not as easy as hookup wire with a plastic insulation. It would be better to
remove the coating with a hobby knife:
