    --> Avionics-List message posted by: "William Gill" <wgill10@comcast.net> Try: http://www.yardstore.com/index.cfm?action=DisplayMain http://www.airpartsinc.com/ I bought a used one from Airparts for around $20 last summer. -----Original Message----- From: owner-avionics-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-avionics-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of bakerocb@cox.net Subject: Avionics-List: Good "no nick" wire stripper? --> Avionics-List message posted by: <bakerocb@cox.net> Responding to an AeroElectric-List message previously posted by: "Craig Payne" <craig@craigandjean.com> <<Bob gives the anatomy of a good "no nick" wire stripper at http://www.aeroelectric.com/articles/strippers/strippers.html. Question is: where can I buy one? In most web stores it is hard to tell because the wrong ones with sharp cutting blades are hard to separate from the good ones that use notch-sensitivity to "pull" the insulation apart at a controlled location. Any pointers to where I can find the "right" stripper?-- Craig>> 12/17/2005 Hello Craig, The Klein catalog stripper number 1004 (with spring) and 1003 (without spring) is a very inexpensive manually operated stripper that will do a good job. http://www.kleintools.com/. No dies, grips, or fancy semi-automation to worry about. The key to using this stripper is to make sample strips of the wire to be stripped, examine each sample strip with a magnifying glass and make stop screw adjustments until you get just the right depth of cut or pinch (your choice) of the insulation. You need to go through this trial and error process for each different size or brand of wire that you are stripping, but once the stop screw is properly set for that particular wire then stripping is a fast process. If you decide to be primarily pinching and tearing the tough Tefzel insulation then a pair of pliers with smooth jaws can be used to hold the wire to be stripped while pulling off the short piece of insulation to be removed.
