I fecked up one of my front teeth stripping cables, so for thirty five years I've been using an RS cable stripper, the same one I used back then.

here's the updated version - http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/cable-strippers/7639800/

I am serious I have always used my teeth and never harmed them. Thicker cable I cut round with a sharp knife first.

I have a filling in the middle edge of one front tooth which kept falling out until a mad dentist-butcher did an undercut and somehow, the filling's held ever since. Never again...

Sorry Doc, I assumed you were having a laugh. I had to give up doing that a few years ago when a couple of front teeth started to loosen. :lol:

It's true Slinger, I've seen him do it - think of the hydra that needs to be stripped and soldered in a P50 or P90 rotary switch - eighteen individual wires on the switch (P90) so that's thirty six ends to strip...
