Hi, seeing that i am not the only one using auto wire strippers (some of the older boys that sub to me still tell me off for using these). i have been experiencing issues with twin and earth stripping on 1mm and 1.5mm cables in that the blue or brown comes off, its a bit of an arse as i then have to get the side cutters out and do it the old skool way. anyone else having these issues.
 
I had this with some SWA recently , had to literally shave the core insulation off. Had it awhile ago with T+E but it was'nt prysmian.
 
Been using a stanley knife for sheath and these bad boys for inner cores for over 20 years. Never had any problems...

I also use strippers like those pictured by Guitarist above, especially for panels where there's hundreds of wires to be stripped. I have a metric pair and an imperial pair for SWG wiring.
 
I use these as I'm mainly working on singles/tri-rated in panels

Although I'm going to look for alternatives as the last set I bought started damaging the insulation where it grips.
 
I just don't get on with auto-strippers. Have tried several, but I like to control how deeply I bite into the insulation, as every stranded cable is different.

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.
