Looking for a Auto Wire Stripper that can do 22awg solid

[mrborohachi]

I'm back in school and doing more bread boarding.
I just found an old IDEAL automatic wire stripper that I use in the garage, but it's cutting jaws are worn and will not strip 22 awg.

I just wanted to see if there's anything new out there.

thanks

My Knipex can (will strip up to 24). Don't know if that's exactly what you're looking for, but it'll do the job.

Product number 12-62-180. I never saw or heard of any getting closed out at any of the Lowes stores I checked out a few weeks ago, but I'm sure there are some floating around.

I use a pair of Klein 11057 strippers for all the smaller wires I encounter doing electronics work, running cat5e and cat6 network cables, etc. It strips 20-30AWG solid wires and 22-32AWG stranded wire. It works great and it has never given me any issues.

I purchased mine at Home Depot about a year ago and it was around $16 if I remember correctly. Just so you know, at my local Home Depot the 11057 strippers were not hanging with the electrical hand tools and regular wire strippers in the main electrical aisle along with the boxes, breakers, and conduit. It was hanging instead with a few specialty data and voice related tools in a separate aisle of the electrical department where they have all the data and cable tv wall plates, rg6 cable, low voltage wire, speaker cable, etc.

I did systems installation for over a decade, and as such, I've run and terminated an awful lot of 23g cables (usually 60pair), and then taught people how to do it when I switched over to technical training.

I used either an end on v-jaw style stripper with a screw lock to limit the jaw closing (this style), or a traditional British Post Office style stripper. When I find my cable termination toolbox (haven't unpacked it since the move last year), I'll post pictures.

I tried using automated strippers, and except for stuff like teflon sheathed wire which is very slippery to hold, the automated strippers were generally slower than a manual stripper in the hands of someone that knows what they are doing.

i will vouch for the klein high-gauge strippers as well, they are great.

He specifically asked about AUTOMATIC wire strippers. I've never seen any for wire that thin. Probably not enough wire for the grippers to get a bite on. A little off center and you have cut the wire

the v notches on the back are for stripping .. and you'll never be faster with an automatic stripper than these. Drop your wire into the notch, bend slightly and pull .. done.

The answer was in the OP: Ideal.

The stripmaster blades come in a variety of sizes and are replacable and interchangable. I have one and it works great.

Order up some new blades for the one in your garage.

Just buy new jaws.
