Default Re: Stripping Cable

Personally, I prefer to use a manual stripper/crimp/cutter all in one tool. It handles almost all the common wire gauges and it works all the time, and it pretty hard to break. It is also one of the least expensive wire strippers you can buy. For stripping the jacket off something like 12/3 SO cable I use a knife just like JD was saying.
