Good Tool for stripping DC cable?

[MikeXl426]

Anyone know if co-ax cable strippers would do it, or is it best to use good old knife?

I assume your talking about thin stranded almost flex like cable?? if your using a knife watch the strands if crimping you may need "bell end" crimps as strrands splay when stripped

If it's straight single core insulated I use a pipe cutter on everything above 10mm² , does a very tidy cut and very cheep. Also Works well on double insulated single core.

Not this specific one but this type... http://www.ttnet.net/english-site/site/com/10061637/product/43/refno/

@Elidor, That's fine until you have 400 of those connections to do!

The problem using normal strippers is that the double insulation is darn tough!
