I agree. And if you keep your thumb on the opposite side of the wire, the knife can't get to it to cut. But for 2/0, you can probably hold it like a piece of wood and whittle away from your hand ins

Use a mini tube/pipe cutter then a straight razor to make a longitudinal cut. Peel off the sheathing. Done. _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate

This has nothing to do with wirestripping, but the use of the jacknife reminded me of this story. My daughter called a few years ago to tell me her car wouldn't start, she'd left the lights on. I ins

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. -- Original Me

Actually, I find a regular razor blade to be the best... New/sharp. Just press it into the insulation lightly, and roll it around. It doesn't take much pressure. Mark _______________________________
