REGISTER EDUCATION FORUM / WIRE STRIPPERS / SELF-ADJUSTING WIRE STRIPPERS 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.

EL Wire last updated about 5 months ago 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.

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: START SOMETHING.
