[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 293400, member: 9512"] amlu, I suspect very good for tails, 6491 etc, but the OP seems to be using tri, which is very fine stranded. I used to work for a client that had their own "real" electrical engineers, & they would do walk around inspections whilst we were installing. Almost all of the wiring was flex/tri type, i.e. fine stranded. If they saw an installer not using a "proper" wire stripper on a wire end then they would demand that the end was cut off and dissected to see if it had missing strands, oh and yes they WOULD count them! So, I'm in a habit of using dedicated wire strippers on fine stranded! The penalties for finding missing strands could be as severe as rewiring the complete machine, 1000's of m of wire and weeks of work, loosing the contract, personally being banned from site etc. So effectively your job was on the line. Severe, but client spec, so you have to live with it. [/QUOTE]
