Thanks for the tips, it worked great! I tried to find something like this at the audio shop here but they just advised using a utility knife. I tried that last time I made a solar generator and I didn't like it. This Jokari tool worked like a charm! I was able to get through 2 gauge thick welding wire insulation pretty easily. One extra trip, I had to slightly extend the blade a couple times (albeit over many cuts, 16 to be exact) as time went on (not sure if it was slipping or getting dull), but it was easy to tell when it needed adjusting so not a big deal. Thanks again for the recommendation and tips!

I got mine and I used it for 2 -12ga in a single sheath. Worked great

[LeeWinbush]

This will be a life saver! I have to 2 gauge wire to strip for my solar install!

[kallepaatalo]

As a professional electrician I'd say you want to spin that Jokari around the cable twice, maximum. There is a slight risk of you cutting the wire a bit like with the other tools, even if you've set the blade correctly.

You are the best!! I am your fan for life! Thanks for providing a complete solution for stripping all types of car audio wires.

Those tools are mainly used for coaxcables when working with network, CCTV, pasagesystems and other low voltage amplications. Never thought of it as a good tool in car audio even if i have worked with coax cables and this tool many times lol! Sometimes all you need is a slap in the face to see what you are missing and that is exactly what you just did with this video mark so thank you haha!

[kiabass]

Thank you for this video because of you I'm gonna buy this tool

[starsstripesjacket]

Top tip from the Netherlands,
Inside is a extra (new) blade 🤫
And try to turn it only 1 of 2 times, sometimes it wants to go forward Turing to much.
Ik still have the red and green versions, both 20 to 30 years old

A good ole fashion Pocket knife is all you really need. 😊

[wyattandwill]

I need more practice because I tried using it and it kept wanting to move to the front of the wire while spinning it and it was also difficult to do that final cutting sweep to the end of the wire straight. I ended up using a razor blade but for the fuse I’m gonna try doing a few things differently

[bikeninja]

Thanks for sharing! this is the same one DIY solar uses and says is the best. I'll pick one up 4 shur.

[americanelectrician]

I have the knipex one! The thing works like a charm!

[MegaCountach]

Sweet! Thanks Mark, that would work excellent on spark plug wires for custom applications also. Cheers, Doug

[Dakattack]

That is a tool the will be in my tool box very soon! It will come in very handy at work. I also just pick up a new to me truck and will be doing the big 3. That stripper will make my life way easier.

You forgot to thank Moe, Larry and Curly.

[youtubeuser]

Very cool... had some Amazon credit and just picked one up for 10 bucks! Thanks for the great vids

I like using single strand or low thick strand count wire on projects. To help prevent strand loss while stripping the insulation away. Its always a pain stripping heavy gauge wire. I can see how this tool can be beneficial.

[CoreMaster]

My father, an electrician, had this type of tool 15-20 years ago. I'm surprised so many people still don't know this thing exists.

Between this model and the Jokari all-rounder, which one do you prefer for cables. For stripping small gauge wires I have a good stripper, my main concern is removing the insulation from cables easily.
