How well does it strip 12 gauge or thicker wires?

Quite well. I got mine last summer while working on a boat restoration. Most of the wiring is 16 thru 10 gauge and it worked great. Don't think it will work on 4 or 6 gauge. For most wiring, you won't know how you lived without it!

I have rated this tool as adequate for occasional home jobs, but not up to routine professional use. But the price is good. With that said it is probably best on 12 - 16 gauge wires. It came in handy on my home repair jobs using 14 gauge wire.

I've used this cord at continuous maximum load (120v 12A) for over three days without any issues, so this will definitely serve your need. The 12-gauge is thinner wire than this 10-gauge cord, so it's worse, not better, electrically. The 12-gauge may be sufficient for your needs. 12 gauge shouldn't be used for continuous loads above 9.3A, so check your pump's electrical rating.

most systems at 12 volt use 10 amps or less of power. Therefore, 16 to 18 guage wire should work just fine.

Hello, S.R. Berry! Thank you for your inquiry. This machine strips 10 gauge wire to 0 gauge, which is 3mm to 9mm wire. It will "not" strip THHN wire, Coaxial Cable, 12 gauge wire, 14 gauge wire, or any wire thinner than 14 gauge. If you have any questions or concerns, please email us or call us at the number below. Thanks! Have a great day. Sincerely, Tom Cupilary Affordable Tool, LLC Customer Service Phone: 734-224-7758 Fax: 734-224-7208

12 or 14 gauge wire. Thick enough to handle just about anything you can put through it for home entertainment.

You will probably have to remove the rubber grommets used at each end to accommodate the thicker wire.

It will strip the outside jacket that holds all the wires. It will not strip each individual wire. 14 gauge is probably the smallest it will realistically strip. That being said, this tool is genius. Highly recommended.

12 awg is 12 gauge . It is thicker than 14 gauge ( I know.. That seems backwards. ). The 14 awg could get hot and cause fire etc if you use 100 ft. Longer cord means more resistance means more hear. Just Search it up 12 gauge extension in amazon search. I'd recommend one that is for cold weather so it will stay flexible

I haven't had any luck with it on Genesis Speaker wires in 16 and 14 gauge. Cat 5e and Cat6 STP and UTP it does well stripping the jacket but watch for nicks on UTP and peal back.

no, the smallest ive been able to strip is 14 awg., its great on all wire bigger then 14 guage til u get up to about 400 mcm then its worth just stripping by hand

I'm not an electrician, but I did ask if this can be used for LED strips, if this is a regular transformer for low voltage lighting you should be fine. The 12 gauge wire will go a further distance that 14 or 16 gauge.

There is a stopper gauge that you attach to the tool which you may be able to use and strip the wire up to one and three-eighths of an inch long. It does a fairly decent job of stripping the wire.

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

yes it will strip just about any wire . i never tried it with tiny wire though.

I have the same question because I have a tool that works just fine with cat 5 cables, but with cat 6 STP I need something that will handle the thicker jacket. If I force the cable into the recess to strip off the outside, a traditional cutter will cut through the wires. Since the tool should be for both cutting, stripping the jacket and crimping, one that can squeeze the connector alone doesn't make it the right tool.

It has a cutter but doesn't work good. Use something else to strip your wires.

I'm not sure if your question has already been answered but I'll try to help anyway. The way I do it is first I adjust the screws on the sides to the gauge wire im stripping by test fitting the wire into the unit. (You should not have gaps where the wire can slide off). Second I manually strip off an end off the wire im stripping usually about 4 - 6in. Lastly I gently pull the wire thru, as im doing so im watching the blade to make sure the insulation on the wire being scored is on center. After doing this you should be able to remove insulation by hand with little effort.
