How well do these strip 12 gauge romex (individual conductors, of course)? That would be main use for these; already have simple strippers.

It will do good with 12 gauge wire, but I think the Klein Katapult is way better, it might cost more but it's worth it.

I have only used this tool for automotive wiring. So I can not say how it works on romex.

I frequently use them for stripping 12guage electrical wire. They are far superior to regular simple strippers.

I have only used it on 18 to 22 gauge wire. I found a piece of romex in my shop. It is not heated and about d degrees f right now. It did not work very well I did not think. I gave it a few tries. some attempts were better than others but did not have good consistent result. Hope this helps.

I have two strips connected together currently and they are working fine. I dont run them for very long periods though. Maybe and hour at most and have not had any issues. According to all info out there you are supposed to run a "repeater" to connect more than one strip. Also, you will need a "strip to strip" connector to join strips together. You can find alot of different types on this site.

I've gone pretty thin and it strips without tearing the wire. I think at 28 AWG you'd just have to be a little careful and not mash down to clamp it.

I found that if you solder the strips together and not use the cheap connecters you don't get as bad of a voltage drop for 2 strips. You can also feed them from both ends. That will even the voltage out a bit more. I have a giant project going on and with the correct transformer, creative wiring, and big enough wire you can get away with not using these. You can always try and add it later....

It seems to me that the strips are over-rated for there power draw. I have one string of 300 3528's that are rated at 24 watts, but only draw 1.2 amps (14.4 watts). I have another double density (600 3528's) and it is rated at 48 watts, but draws 1.9 amps (about 24 watts). Both are run from this power supply set to 12.0 volts. So if your strips are the 300 3528's, then this power supply will easily power them with some spare.

Another tool is needed. And i would reccommend getting any and all tools or strippers to make it go easier......I did not, and struggled with stripping them straight......

Good question. I can tell you it will not accodate standard 14 gauge soild copper wiring. if you are using this in your house you will need to connect a smaller gauge wire to the romex wiring. the connection terminals are very small on the supply side

No; just clearly marked positive and negative leads approximately 16" in length. The insulation on the individual conductors is *very* sensitive to nicks, so don't attempt to strip the outer sheath unless you really need to.

Yes it works fantastic for stripping speaker wire. Probably one of the best strippers I've owned :)

No wire strippers. if you were good, you could use the wire cutters and strip with those. It's harder, but it works

The strippers will have difficult time anything smaller than 18 ga wire. Otherwise they work fine.

I've only used them for 'lightweight' electronics work. Stripping a screwdriver tip usually means that the tip size didn't match the screw. It would have been nice if the tips were magnetic though. They're not.

I've used this transformer. It will work for your twelve volt strip. Pay attention to the polarity wires. The positive May not be red and the negative may not be black.

The answer to this question depends entirely on the size of the transformer unit that you plug the strands into. The small transformer that is usually purchased with a 15ft strip can handle as many as three strips (I believe), but you need a larger transformer to handle any more strings than that. Check the wattage and amperage of the strips you want to run together and then look for a transformer that matches or exceeds the total wattage and amperage you want to use.

Hi Fleet,It would not allow you to strip a cable thinker than 5 mm in diameter, coaxial is not exceptional. It's kind of hard to strip the sheilded guitar cable but it's not impossible. You may want to consider TRENDnet TC-CT68 (8P/RJ-45, 6P/RJ-12, RJ-11 Crimp, Cut, and Strip Tool) at Amazon for $15.

Agree with previous answer. You can run Romex but you'll have to run it twice. I've also ran thousands of feet of different gage wire, great machine!

They cut copper and tinned copper wire like a hot knife through butter. I'm sure they'd be just fine for something like fishing line.
