Automatic wire strippers

stef · May 6, 2011

Hi chaps,

What wire strippers are you using? I bought my third (RS243-257 or similar) but
after frequent use with 4mm tri rated the grippers wear out and the wire just slips through without stripping the insulation of. Are there any better products on the marked,
and where from?

Kind regards ...

Cant stand them myself, in the controls game we tend to use these type of automatic strippers;

Pheonix contact manufacture them (other manufacturers available) at about £52.00, however the pair I own have lasted me 15 years (at least) and strip 0.25mm to 6mm tri-rated without trying to align fiddly stripping groves and are made from lightweight plastic.
