[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 124675, member: 126"] Re: Strippers!!! I actually did some mil-spec soldering work back in the 60s and I had a nice bench thermal wire stripper. Two glowing red hot wires that would grip the wire and melt through the insulation so you could easily remove it. All of the cheap mechanical wire strippers are not allowed for very serious work because they can nick solid wire making it more likely to fail at that nick, or remove outer strands from stranded wire reducing the current carrying capability. These self adjusting strippers are pretty easy to work with (not mil spec AFAIK) but it's always possible to mess up.
