Milwaukee "Self Adjusting" Wire Strippers 2 - Tips & Suggestions from Comments

[@gnic76]

Both vids were great to watch, I don't do a lot of electrical stuff, but mentioning and showing you can use the automatics for stripping the outer sheathing was a good tip. 👍Thanks!

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

Appreciate it… Glad me and the commentators could help 👍

[@three-phase562]

Great community you have built up that help others out with tips and tricks. 👍👍

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

We do have a great group of commenters… and in the tool world we don’t get many keyboard warriors. 😂

3:34 why have I never thought of that?! Great tip.

What a great communtiy you have. Ive never saw anyone hold it up on the left for tension. The wires with the clear are always the most difficult. Im gonna try it on those types from now on. I also have the jakari flat cable strippers that knipex has a rebrand of (12 64 180) that are awesome when working in junction boxes. They accomplish all the same things but have better clearance because they strip from the end. And they seem stronger when stripping the sheathing further from the end. My kleins have now moved to thermostat and hvac wiring for me. Love the videos!

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

Appreciate the tips.. I have actually been wanting those Knipex to try, Ben waiting for the price to drop. Will look into the Jakari 👍

@@MORGANSMaintenance Jokari, yet another German company, makes mostly wire strippers. You need to remember that although their products will work on the US market, they are designed specifically to European standards. For example our Romex-like cables do not have that paper interlayer. From my experience, after trying all types of wire and cable strippers one the market, those self adjusting work best. Some more classical strippers, i.e. using blades do not dull that fast (I still have aperture/slit wire strippers like those 194A.17VE that lasted 8 or 9 years). Self adjusting strippers will work well for about a year, than you need to buy a new one.

[@Cavett24]

@@MORGANSMaintenance with jokari they have multiple versions that are slightly different. So double check what range of sizes they strip before you pull the trigger.

Now imagine how happy Mr Morgan's clients must be with such a quality, speed and amount od feedback he gives. It's so niece that our comments help to make this chanel even better. I was wondering if it could strip the wires through the paper as well.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

It is hit/miss with the paper. Its pretty slick so the teeth don't grip well. Sometimes it takes two tries, one squeeze gets the paper, then another to strip. That's even with holding the wire up for leverage.

[@michaelthompson7570]

Thanks for part2. Was enough for me to pull the trigger…..

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

👍👍. You’re welcome, hope they work for you.

[@2121contreras]

Thanks for the update i just recently got these and didn't realize you could strip all 3 wires at once. Great tips i got a feeling these are going to become my new go to stippers.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

If they work with your type of wire & fit in the spot you are using them they are a good option. No worries about damaging conductors.

[@Jeff-hx8nt]

After the first video I wasn't sure if I was going to buy them. But now I definitely going to buy them. Thanks

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

After the tips they became more useful to me too. If they work on the wire you are using and fit in the areas you normally work… they are useful.

[@CarlosJimenez-xx4qg]

Excelente explicación. Gracias por los consejos para poder poner en acción mi nueva pinza. Ya estaba decepcionado porque tuve este problema mencionado en el video 1. pero, con las nuevas recomendaciones superé este obtáculo.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@CarlosJimenez-xx4qg glad it helped 👍👍

[@lelenbates3367]

Thanks for the video. I bought a pair and I was struggling with solid double sheath wire all the same ways you were and am ready to bin them. I will give it another go after these tips.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

You are welcome.. the people usually are very helpful in the comments of my videos 👍

[@Lostin2024]

For 20 bucks these look like a great addition to my tool bag.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

If they work on the wire you use often... i think they are a good tool 👍👍

[@parkerjohnson5420]

Awesome video. Thank you for doing this follow up. Probably going to try a set now.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

👍👍… the few tips from others definitely made it a little better tool than before

[@parkerjohnson5420]

Absolutely. I’m glad you take the time to read through the comments.

[@Obtuse94]

These tips were amazing and have helped so much. The only thing I need now out of these (the Klein version, not that it matters) is that I need to be able to set that depth stop repeatedly and reliably for Wagos.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

That’s what I was hoping to do myself. I normally strip them cut with my hand strippers.

[@psycho2954]

Hey I got a tip for you two screws on the attention and the two screws on the length adjuster push upward on the Block and tighten it to screws down and it gives you better height for grabbing works every time. The tolerances on the pins that hold the top clause in place are too loose they need a better Machinist

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

Thanks, I will check that out 👍

[@TruthSeekerAi]

i been using these types of tools the why u just learned for 20 years my fav til this day is the old radio shack model to this copy

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

I had a pair along time ago, but I never knew they stripped sheathing off Romex 👍

[@krishuntzeroable]

Well damn, that makes this amazing for HVAC. You can use this for thermostat wire.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

I didn’t have any of it to try but according to what it calls for it should… maybe someone else on here will comment that has done it.

[@MattHmm-rq6dn]

The blue kleins will do thermostat and single cat 5/6 wires for data cables without a problem. Part of keeping these in the bag is so I can use my knipex instalation pliers (14g and 12g) and ditch the forged strippers for small jobs. The automatic do the 16/18g flushmount stranded wire so I save space. Alls they need to do now is make the instalation pliers with a spring and lock like the European metric version for us in the states

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@MattHmm-rq6dn 👍👍

[@krishuntzeroable]

@@MORGANSMaintenance I’ve tried it on Thermostat wires but the problem was slipping and not cutting through the shielding but the trick you just showed me made me want to go back to using it even more over my pair of Knipex wire strippers. This could be much faster.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@krishuntzeroable 👍

[@timstacyTR]

GREAT TIP. I have never heard good things in my feild of plumbing and hvac about those types of strippers. Now I'm getting a pair. So cool just like any other time saver tool. LEARN TO USE IT RIGHT.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

Very true… and if all else fails Read the Instructions 😂

[@Stefan_Kawalec]

After testing many different cable stripper, I can vouch for these. One of the few that really work.

[@MattHmm-rq6dn]

Thanks for the shoutout from someone who has too many tools (but uses them and keeps them clean) to another 👍

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

Thanks Morgan I think I’ll buy The Milwaukee Strippers .

👍👍 you are welcome Hope you like them.

[@tcatrccreations]

Great video (and Part 1), and excellent comments from subscribers/followers. Do you know if the adjustable stopper/paw is metal or plastic? It seems to vary on the various versions of these by different brands.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

It is metal on this one 👍

[@omegaanimations8549]

You don’t need up tension you just need to keep that tension on the clamping side so that the stripping side doesn’t pull the cable along with the jacket

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

Maybe true. I have a feeling if you were dealing with a shorter wire, that was secured in a box… it will work better than using my hand to hold it. But it’s a good trick to keep that tension on longer wires 👍👍

[@RobertoVerdin-d5h]

Muy buenos videos saludos

[@user-rj8df3vj2i]

It’s the non existing top grip teeth Klein tool has one and has monster teeth and doesn’t struggle with any wire

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

My Home Depot doesn’t sell the Klein in store… I actually looked for it before I grabbed the Milwaukee. I did see it on Amazon

[@JoeRogansForehead]

Yeah but am I supposed to strip the whole wire .

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

You can strip as much as you want. Some wires are hard to strip small amounts though.

[@JoeRogansForehead]

@@MORGANSMaintenance so I have to strip a 3 foot wire , 3 inches at a time? I clamp it down and I get the piece to seperate but it’s so small. I need to strip the whole thing for scrap . I bought these and there useless for what I’m trying to do

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

@@JoeRogansForehead oh I see… yeah it will be hard to put the sheathing off that far even after you separate it

[@Eddy63]

Just keeps getting better ... Thx

Wait till tomorrow… just kidding 😂
