'How to use a Stripper'.... I've been trying to figure that one out for a long time.. he he...

I just bought a stripper and it is a 1/2" thick piece of plastic with holes that the cable slips into and you squeeze and rotate the tool around the cable. I have two holes each with a blade set a certain depth into the cable. One cuts right down to the conductor and the other cuts only the depth of the black sheath. The thickness of the tool helps set the depth of cable. I put the end of the cable flush with the face of plastic and the blade is 1/4" back. That helps the measuring you see. In reading the instructions, it said to pull the chrome hair (I think they called it shield wires) over the black sheathing. I guess away from the conductor. And then I have a compressor tool for Ideal connectors.

Have fun...
