keep these in the van just in case in need a fry up.
 
nicely damaged insulation on the white. what a plonker. i could do better with a blunt kitchen knife.
 
I have seen a few YouTube tutorials U.S and U.K where they show someone munching around the cable with pliers to chew through the outer insulation.
must be a new method as I certainly wasn’t shown this way

Sorry @Dustydazzler but it's not a fair poll.
There are so many different types of cable, each with its preferred stripping method and tool.
I use both sidecutters and shears, 2 different automatic stripping tools, and a rotary stripping tool and sometimes a knife.

What do you use to cut and strip tails or chunkier cables?
Also good for cutting strands of cable armour, although I try to restrict their use to copper.
