    Stripping Cable

    The rotary strippers work all right in my experience. The one I have has two annoying problems: The blade always seems to push in when it's inserted into the jacket, forcing me to set the depth slightly deeper than necessary, and I almost always have to adjust it for every cable; and the blade...
