If you need to strip copper wire, it is possible to do so by burning the insulation off. This can be done with a lighter or other small flame. First, you will need to clean the wire to remove any dirt, oil, or other debris. Next, you will need to heat the wire until the insulation begins to melt. Once the insulation is melted, you can then use a wire stripper or a sharp knife to remove it. Be careful not to overheat the wire, as this can damage the copper.
Stripping electrical wires to scrap can be a lucrative way to make some extra money. The first step is to cut the wire into manageable pieces. Next, use a wire stripper to remove the insulation from the wire. Be careful not to damage the wire itself. Once the insulation is removed, the wire can be sold as scrap metal.
There are a few ways to strip wire without a wire stripper. One way is to use a sharp knife to carefully cut through the insulation around the wire. Another way is to use a pair of pliers to grip the wire and pull the insulation off.
A pound of copper is worth about $2.50.

I had previously used these at work, but I didn't have one until recently. I ultimately purchased one for personal usage. I adore wire strippers of this kind. By visually comparing the wire conductor size to the appropriate stripping slot, you may align the wire with that slot. The wire is then neatly stripped with only one simple squeeze. The strip length is how far the wire extends from the beginning of the stripping slot, which can be as long or short as you choose.There are a few restrictions. If the wire conductor is too large for the largest stripping slot or too small for the smallest stripping slot, the wire cannot be stripped properly. However, it clearly states what wire gauges it works with in the description. Additionally, I am aware from prior job experience that some wire types are more difficult to strip than others. For example, I seem to recall that Teflon wire with thin insulation was a little trickier to strip with all types of wire stripping tools. Fortunately, this wiring is not your typical type.The Good: All wire gauges that suit its stripping head are readily and neatly stripped; for more information, refer to the item description.You can easily see where the wire will be stripped and how long the stripped end will be.How long of a stripped end you get is all up to you.The fastest way to strip many wires is once you get the hang of utilizing the strippers.extremely well constructedOnly the wire gauges mentioned for the stripper are stripped up to and down to.Although it is somewhat expensive, I think it is worthwhile.

You're aware that Amazon sells some goods in "frustration-free" packaging? Well, the packaging for this tool is about as contrary as it can be. It comes in one of those plastic thermally sealed packets that must be opened with a Sawzall and a lot of swearing. Okay, maybe not quite that horrible, but a box cutter and possibly a sliced finger are definitely involved. Since these are not intended for retail sales, where anti-shoplifting packaging is required, why can't Klein just create a new package for online retailers?Regardless, aside from the packaging, it does a superb job of stripping 12 and 14ga wire and easily consumes the off-brand NM-B from Home Depot. Thankfully, I have not encountered the grips breaking off or the jaws sliding out of alignment that are mentioned in several reviews. Given that the tool we're discussing is priced in the mid-20s, I'm not sure I'd be all that upset if it broke after a year, but I can see why you'd like it to be of excellent quality and have the Klein name and Made in the USA on it. If I thought a higher-quality alternative would benefit me more, I would pay extra for it, but so far I haven't had any compelling reasons to. Of course, if it fails or quickly grows grating, I'll update the review.

bought to replace the worn-out, slack, and dull tools in my backpack. They complete the task. What you would anticipate from a basic tool—not fantastic, but yet not a letdown. The cutting edges are sharp enough to do the job even if I never quite got the hang of the strippers and frequently break strands. The forward pliers grip transfers force very well, but because of how close they are to the stripper teeth, you run the risk of harming the cutter edges. In that case, just take a pair of genuine pliers. The terminal crimper is reasonably reliable, however occasionally the crimps miss or are too loose and come loose from the wire. When I take care to line it up properly and give it a double squeeze, the terminal orientation matters with this technique of crimping and tends to seat and bind effectively. Although they're not designed to be dykes, the cutting edges feel as like they'll lose their shape if used on something tougher than copper wire. Mine are still sharp and easily cut 18 awg and thinner wire if you don't treat them like snips. I can't fling them open with one hand because the hinge is a little too tight, but I'd rather have a firm hinge than a loose, shaky one any day. Through stripping, cutting, and crimping, the hinge maintains the two sides' squareness and solidity.Personally, I'd say they're suitable for light to medium use overall. You should choose heavier duty models if you plan to use a gadget like this all day. They are either in my low voltage electronics bag or at my desk, and they have never failed me. Excellent for prototyping RPi and Arduino projects as well as regular electronics maintenance.

When trying to strip stranded wire smaller than 22 gauge, the machine has problems but performs fine on larger wire. To figure out how it operates, I disassembled the device. An adjustment screw is located on the left lower grip plate. I discovered that this screw does not present any resistance until at least 1 1/2 turns have been made. After taking it apart, I discovered a spring and a hardened pin in the shape of a bullet. This pin modifies the amount of force the wire-stripping jaw applies to it.At the maximum setting and fully screwed in, it does not exert enough pressure to strip the wire on thin stranded wire. I resolved this problem by shortening the thread on a tiny phillips-head 2/56 screw to about 1/8 inch. The hardened bullet sits in the hole in the back plate bullet head in first, and this is inserted into the bore first with threads within the spring. If you turn the screw all the way in after reassembly, you shouldn't be able to complete a compression. This indicates that the spring has been fully compressed. I would try 2 to 2 1/4 rotations in from fully out on the adjustment screw to remove 26 gauge wire. A tiny drop of lithium oil on the plate is something else I would suggest. By doing this, the greater pressure from stripping thinner wires will not cause as much wear. Now that I have learned how to strip very thin wires, I can also use the tool on 12 gauge house wire.

This pair of wire strippers is quite reasonably priced, and they are pretty good! Cutting and stripping wires feels great on my hand and has really nice quality. Not the best is the cutting part. To cut larger lines, I would use a set of wire cutters because these strippers don't seem to completely cut through 12 gauge strands. I then had to use wire cutters to trim the wires. But they work excellent for removing cables!ADVANCED: May 5, 2019——————————————On April 26th, I installed fresh 12AWG Monoprice pure copper stranded cables. The 12AWG cable's plastic coating is quickly removed by the wire stripper. However, you must use extreme caution because the cables may not be perfectly round, and some of the outer strands could be severed when the wire stripper breaks through the plastic. A sharp wire cutter is used. So, I pulled while rotating the wire as I snippeted bits of plastic until I had removed the most of it. In this manner, 99–100% of the strands are still in tact. I still rate this wire stipper four stars because it performs a good job and the cost is reasonable.

Since I already had Irwin's version of the tool for use at work, I bought these to have a pair at home. However, I ended up switching them out and using these while working.Pros: Wider and more comfortable grips than Irwins, which provide more leverage.superior value.good for cutting wire that is even larger.better than the Irwins at loosening up.Cons: My pair of shoes had trouble cutting an 8-32. The screw cutter had poor threading, and it was challenging to insert, but it cut without harming the threads.In general, I would buy them again.

This stripper is undoubtedly quite spooky. I purchased it because using my standard manual strippers to cut even lengths of 24-gauge threaded ribbon wire proved difficult.I leapt in shock the first time it stripped the wire, which sent the sheathing flying across my desk. Although I couldn't detect any damage to the wires when I investigated, the strippers produce a very loud breaking sound that convinced me that it had likely just sheered off half the threads. I crimped that end first, then when I tried the other, I was able to retain the sheath in the stripper so I could inspect it again.I can confirm that the product performs as promised despite how ferocious and loud these strippers appear to be since I have never had them break the threads in my wires.But let me tell you how much of a BEAR it is to crimp many pins that are intended to go into the same housing. As I indicated, I bought this for crimping wires, which it clearly works for (I have it set for 1/4 inch/6 mm, but you could go slightly shorter). It's a complete nightmare (which, I realize, is really the crimper's problem).The takeaway is that if you're buying this to connect to ribbon cable, just buy the socket-type connectors (I believe they go by the name JTAG) instead. They typically come in 2-row formats rather than 1-row formats, but honestly, just snapping those onto ribbon cable is well worth the different form factor (though that obviously won't work for already-installed single-row headers like on Arduinos).

All is well thus far. This device has so far functioned admirably and is a fantastic value. I bought this product for the office because I didn't want to use some of my expensive strippers. I was mistaken; this product worked just as well, and I won't have any trouble buying more of them in the future.

It can be worth it to strip wire depending on the type of wire, how much wire you have, and what you plan to do with the stripped wire. For example, if you have a lot of copper wire and plan to sell it as scrap metal, then it will be worth your while to strip the wire.
If you're scrapping copper wire, it's best to strip it first. This process will increase the amount of money you get for your scrap, as well as make it easier to transport and store. Stripping copper wire is simple to do and only requires a few tools. First, use a wire stripper to remove the insulation from the wire. Next, use a pair of pliers to twist the wire until it's separated into small pieces. Finally, use a wire brush to remove any remaining insulation. Once your copper wire is stripped, it's ready
If you need to cut wire but don't have a wire cutter on hand, there are several other tools that can do the job. A good pair of scissors can usually cut through thin wire, and a heavier-duty pair of shears can handle thicker wire. A sharp knife can also cut through wire, but be extra careful not to cut yourself. In a pinch, you can even use your teeth to bite through thin wire.
The best tool for stripping wire is a wire stripper. A wire stripper is a tool that is used to remove the insulation from electrical wires. It is a handheld tool that has a small blade that is used to cut the insulation. The wire stripper is placed over the wire and the blade is used to cut through the insulation. The wire stripper has a small hole that is used to strip the wire. The wire is inserted into the hole and the tool is rotated around the wire. The wire is then pulled through the hole and the insulation is removed.
There are a few ways to peel copper wire, but the fastest way is to use a wire stripper. First, cut the wire to the desired length. Next, clamp the wire stripper around the wire and rotate the tool around the wire. The wire stripper will cut through the insulation and leave the copper wire exposed.
There are a few places to find thick copper wire for scrap. The best place is a construction site or a demolition site. They will have a lot of copper wire that is thick and perfect for scrap. Another good place is an electrical contractor. They will have a lot of copper wire that is thick and perfect for scrap.
