Hi, John.

A utility knife with a hook blade can be used to cut the insulation parallel to 
the lay of the wires, then fold the flap of insulation back and use the hook 
blade around.

HTH,
Donald.

Subject: [Shop-talk] stripping large wire

I've got to do some wiring using large gauge wire 2/0 and 4/0 with several 
terminations....  I've got wire strippers for the normal #10 thru #14 stuff 
but need a way to safely strip this big stuff...  a pocket knife will do it 
but history proves it will also slice your thumb like a ripe peach...  can't 
seem to find anything online... what do you guys suggest...?????

thanks
John


You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative 
and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and 
should do for themselves.
