Does it have blade height adjustment? I could not get it to strip a 12 gauge wire.
1708551
It is supposed to auto adjust for most heights and do 10-24 AWG wires. There is a micro adjust that can be adjusted so the grab side doesn't dig into the wire. My first pair wouldn't strip anything regardless of gauge, and the new pair strips intermittently. When it does strip it causes more damage to the insulation exposing wire in front of the strip point, despite the micro adjustment. I am giving them a week in the field and testing on various wires and will hopefully have some sample video and photos. Perhaps I will figure out how they can be used without these problems if not they will also be returned.

Not as far as I am aware. The jaws and bladeon mine close completely and symmetrically depending upon the gauge of wire I'm stripping. I haven't had any issues other than it cutting (instead of stripping) fine wire on occasion. One thing I did to to make use a bit less cumbersome was to take off the yellow stripping length gauge off as it was getting in the way and would cause the ends of multifilament wire to fray and burr while being stripped. It's the yellow piece on the blade side of the tool, just comes off with a Philips screw driver. Hope that helps.

I feel bad having left my preliminary assessment for this tool. I was stripping only 20, 18, 16, and 14ga. Trying 12 and 10ga., I must say I am extremely disappointed! I can find no adjustments anywhere to compensate for this drawback. And I do sincerely apologize for those that may have followed my first evaluation. Even though this is a heavily made tool, it fails in the cutting dies. Poor design. No adjustments. ..It's expensive to boot! If you keep it under 14ga., you might be OK. Once again, I am so sorry for misleading anyone. I would not recommend this tool to anyone!

I just opened my new tool, and it doens't strip anything. I've used the micro adjuster. I'm not sure if I have a defective grip, or if this is just crap. It's seems like most people find it useful, but I just consider this worthless.

Hello, no the slice thickness is determined by the depth the cutting blade is set at - and as this is a basic, plastic product, its pre-moulded therefore not adjustable.I trust this helps.

The blade is 12inches long, 3 1/4 inches wide and just under 1/4 inch thick. I don't know which one you're comparing it to but some of the wooden handled versions mount the blade differently. Maybe that accounts for the difference.

There is a nob that When tightened keeps the saw at what ever height you need it. If you were to loosen it you could probably do a drop cut.

It will strip the outside jacket that holds all the wires. It will not strip each individual wire. 14 gauge is probably the smallest it will realistically strip. That being said, this tool is genius. Highly recommended.

no,the saw itself is 7ft their is no 7ft extention, remington parts dept. has not heard of it.

Hello, S.R. Berry! Thank you for your inquiry. This machine strips 10 gauge wire to 0 gauge, which is 3mm to 9mm wire. It will "not" strip THHN wire, Coaxial Cable, 12 gauge wire, 14 gauge wire, or any wire thinner than 14 gauge. If you have any questions or concerns, please email us or call us at the number below. Thanks! Have a great day. Sincerely, Tom Cupilary Affordable Tool, LLC Customer Service Phone: 734-224-7758 Fax: 734-224-7208

Hi,The guide should tighten up, so the blade tracks. My guide goes up and down, and I can adjust it at what ever height I want. Regards, Bill

This stripper is designed for flat or round TV/UTP cable & not for general purpose wire stripping. I suppose you could use this tool to strip 4 gauge copper wire, but it's not intended for that use.Bobby...

(Sheepishly), I haven't used mine yet. But, I did go out and take a measurement for you. It should go down approximately 3.5". Now, the actual cutting blade isn't very wide (possible 1/16" > 1/8" wide), so you may have to make multiple "cuts" depending on the diameter of your wire. Hope this helps.

It measures a little over 8ft from tip of blade to end of motor. So if you calculate your over head reach and subtract about 18 inches from the 8ft , because you don't hang on by the end of the motor, and maybe 6 to 8 inch to get into the working area of the blade and that will be your max cutting height. I found this to be pretty much the standard non-adjustable length of the pole saws. The adjustable ones cast a lot more and have had trouble with the locking clamp. I wish it was a little long, but length adds weight and this one is a nice weight to with. Hope this helped.

I used this device exclusively on 26 gauge wire and didn't need to adjust the adjustment screw at all. Assuming it wouldn't work as is on 28AWG, guessing it would if you adjusted the adjustment screw.

I didn't check it personally, but the factory dimensions claim a .25" (1/4) blade thickness. That seems about right.

I'm not sure if your question has already been answered but I'll try to help anyway. The way I do it is first I adjust the screws on the sides to the gauge wire im stripping by test fitting the wire into the unit. (You should not have gaps where the wire can slide off). Second I manually strip off an end off the wire im stripping usually about 4 - 6in. Lastly I gently pull the wire thru, as im doing so im watching the blade to make sure the insulation on the wire being scored is on center. After doing this you should be able to remove insulation by hand with little effort.

Strips 12 wire no problem, I have also used it for 10 with no problem. This is a awesome tool!!

Don't touch the handles themselves. The wire is adjusted by sliding the stainless steel collar at one end of the wire towards the opposite end. It doesn't matter which end you choose - let this handle slide towards the middle of the wire, out of the way. Loosen the collar by undoing the set screw with a screwdriver. There should be a diagram that shows you what length is correct for you - the end of the handles should be approx arm pit height I believe. Once you have decided the right length, re tighten the collar with the set screw and remove the excess wire with sturdy wire cutters or pliers with cutting jaws. At the end of this excess wire there is a little protective cap. Take this off and put it on the new end of the wire. Work with one end of the wire only. Aim to replicate the other "factory finished" end exactly as a comparison. The only difference will be the wire is shorter in between the handles if all goes well. Hope this helps.

Yes. But 12" is as wide as it cuts. Length is no problem. It's a great little cutter.
