Where have you been all my life??!!! I have rolls of copper wire someone gave me to make jewelry with and I have struggled to get it out of the plastic. I stumbled upon your video while searching for something else! Thank YOU!

been a scrap hauler for years.
i did it this way years ago.
i had to move my blade every time i had a different size to do.
but never thought of the 4 blades this way
this is way better, im def gonna build it.

I'm at work and they handed me a bunch of wite and a utility blade. After 5 minutes of messing around I found your video and you're a life saver. Thank you so much, just made my day a bit easier!

I know you'll think I'm full of it Phil, but I was on my way out to my newly built workshop in order to do exactly this later this morning, after a trip to Asda! Guess what I'll be making instead. How serendipitous is that! Thanks for a great idea, I've got loads of scrap pieces left over too! Cheers Phil!!!

[MikeySmithJones]

This is the one! I have seen a handful of these, and this is the one I will make. Either tonight or this weekend. Thank you!!!

Very useful I made one a couple of years back which was a similar sort of design. Might give this one a go next.

This is a great idea Phill and a really useful one.

I think this idea is superb man thanks I am probably gonna add a drill reel I made that way I strip longer pieces faster and make it easier too but wow great idea and when the blade dulls out just flip it over and re secure 👍👍

It is amazing how much enjoyment I'm getting from this YouTube video with someone speaking real English and using metric! 😂

[GettingItDoneRepairs]

What a great idea! I used to work with a guy who did a lot of wire stripping. I wonder how he did it

[FlawlessFairways]

Put a small flat screw in front of blades in hole bevel you drilled out then you can raise and lower to keep wired tight against blade you can just pull through vs sitting there on top of it trying to make sure it’s going through

[johnhiattiv]

Pretty cool concept. I think you could have done 4 sizes with just 2 blades. It would be nice to have a cover over the blades that aren't in use for safety. Also it would be cool to run the wires thorugh some sort of a set of wheels or bearings to strighten it out 1st. Another idea would be to somehow make height of the blades more adjustable over just having different grooves. Maybe put the blades on a gasket of firm but squishable rubber so you could adjust the screws for wire thickness. Just ideas.

Fab video and a great idea going to give it a try. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks 👍

❤ I'm doubling down copper and not selling it😅🎉 it's going to get wild in the next few years🎉 look at all these electric motors in cars

[sentradynamics]

Im sure you've considered this but with the blades offset you can just flip them over when its time, to make them last twice as long. Love this idea. Ive seen others that use another board with holes, or a bit of solid strand copper formed into a coil (like a heating element) to act as a guide to feed the wires at the right height. Great video thanks for sharing!!

I'm watching your video as I have a wound and bandage on my finger😂

[barbarellaable]

That was fantastic! I have purchased a pair of wire strippers, also tried using a Stanley knife, but if can this as I have tones & tomes of cords that need stripping . Thanks 🙏

[kevinansell]

What a great little Gadget, Simple but effective :)

[YoStu]

Spent whole afternoon stripping wires myself and all I can say is don't quit your dayjob because of it heh
