STRIPMEISTEROriginal Drill-Powered Wire Stripper – Wire Sizes Up To Ø3/4", Jam-Free, Copper Wire, Built for Safety, Speed, and Efficiency - Portable Wire Stripping Machine

Blades last long as well as you get it set right, easy to take care of, and works as well as you can use it. There’s a tiny learning curve in terms of adjusting it, but I got the hang of it in around 15 minutes.I recommend having either a large battery, multiple good sized ones, or a mixture. I used a 60v 9 AH battery to strip for about 8 hours and only dropped a bar. Throw in my 5 ah battery, and I could probably strip non stop.

I am an electrician specializing in remodel projects, so I am always pulling out old wire and recycling it. I have thought about getting a stripping machine for a while, but always thought I needed a big and expensive one. I finally broke down and thought I would give one of these smaller ones a try, and like others have said: why didn't I get one of these years ago?! It works well, and strips wire much faster than I could with a utility knife, and much safer, too.The unit is small, but that is a plus, not a minus. It is well built, with good milling of the solid aluminum frame and moving parts that fit tight but move easily. I bolted mine down to a small block of wood just big enough to hold it and the drill to run it. I can then clamp the unit to a work bench or stand, and easily store the assembly away when I am done with it.I will say that it can be a little finicky. Although the feed angle is not super-critical, it does matter for how well the material feeds through and, if set poorly, can cause the wire to slip to the side of the cutter wheel. Also, stripping smaller stranded wire (so far in the #14 - #12 range, I haven't tried others yet) requires much more accuracy with the cutting wheel, otherwise you end up with a lot of copper slivers as the wheel will cut the strands as well as the insulation. However, it doesn't take a lot to fine tune the adjustments, and once set, it runs really well. Therefore, any other reviewers stating they are having trouble with the wire not staying under the cutting wheel is simply not paying attention to their setup.Although I would not consider this is to be a production stripper, I have managed to strip thousands of feet of wire in just a couple of days. There are a couple of things this little stripper will struggle with, such as stripping the outer jacket of round multi-wire (aka 3-wire plus ground) cables, but again, with a little but of tweaking, it took me less than a minute to set up and strip over 100' of 12/3 that was probably made in the 70's or 80's, which has a much thicker jacket and a lot more paper filler inside, so it was quite a challenge. Once the inside wires were separated, I was able to just run individual wire after wire, and a couple of minutes later, I had several more pounds of bare copper in the pile.Overall, in a couple of days I will have finished what would have taken me weeks to do, plus I will get more money per pound for the stripped wire than if I didn't strip it, so this little unit has pretty much paid for itself in no time. If you are in the market for stripping a fair amount of wire, but not looking to make a living out of it (need a bigger machine for that), this little unit will certainly do the trick.

I had my doubts on this but for a few minutes of research about this particular item. It proves it can handle striping wires for first timers since I collect cables from time to time but it works very well. An extra helper is always a must since it's very hard to do it on your own but it's optional.

Works great. Well-built tool. It made short order of all the wire I had to strip. I only wish I purchased one of these sooners.

This does exactly what it says it does, just properly set it and hook up your drill and away you go..worked perfextly

Works really good. I'm a scrapper and can go through a pile of copper wire and nothing flat. I can do any size and any thickness easily if you want to save time I definitely recommend getting one!

Quality item that is simple to use! Only thing to make it better is a foot switch for your drill. For $140 you can’t beat it just buy it.!

Great design and great value. Saved big bucks buying this tool. I have used the competition’s flag ship for years, but this one out performs, especially on smaller conductors like #14 AWG (even stranded THHN). I wish I had bought this years ago.
