Review on TICONN Automatic Stripper Electrician Stripping by John Bennett

I highly recommend practicing on a useless wire a few times. I tried 18 gauge wire and found it cut through the wire the first few times. I'm slowing down and I think this allows the tool to do its job properly. Maybe it's just because it's brand new and I've never used new ones and they need to be hacked to work properly. I can't say for sure, but I understand why some people prefer to use wire strippers, which you have more control over. Place it in a chamber its size, twist several times to cut the sheath to the core of the wires, and pull. One can argue that it is faster. It's nice and fast, but it also just rips the sleeve off the wire. I would like to stress potential users that they should exercise caution as to whether this tool is suitable for the job. Some like to emphasize that this may be a personal preference, and some have experiences that may influence their judgement. My attached photos will show you some of the negative effects of ripping off sleeves with this tool. Note the cloth rope shown after the strip, which looks like it did a good job. Upon closer inspection, damage to the internal wires is visible. Not much but still some damage. There isn't much control over the blades in this cutting and tearing process. I think it's okay to use them in some situations. For example, pluck sockets from speaker cables or even the inner wires of power cables. I would NOT recommend using it to strip sleeves from wires with multiple inner wires. There can be short circuits. If you use this for thermostat wiring like in my example. With an RJ-45 Cat cable, this would be horrible to try! It doesn't take much to short out there! Do you remember the line I wanted you to write down? The reason some vendors build it into their wires is to rip off the grommet without damaging the inner wires. done correctly. Some people prefer quality over quantity. I would use them for each individual wire but never with multiple wires inside unless you need to strip them individually at the first stripping point and then strip so I'm sure there aren't any potential shorts. And I wouldn't have chosen this tool if I didn't have an extra cable because of the possibility of a bug. Any wire gauge in my test seems to cut 18AWG. A break in the middle of the wire is more likely to fail than the end, allowing the sleeve to move. Depending on your project and the difficulty of replacing the wire should it fail, I would weigh my options before trusting them. And this is a test where I completely loosened and reinserted the turnbuckle, turning it all the way to hold it in place. Test yourself. Sit back with results that reflect what you want for the current project. I think I'd trust them all day just by snapping off the ends of individual wires an inch! Again, it's all about making sure you have the right tool for the job!
