does this machine strip the wire with ruber coating like say extension cords and does it strip wire with multiple wie inside of it or do you have to

no single conductor only, you might be able to run the wire through mult times

This machine will split the outer jacket for you to pull apart. Then you can send the individual conductors of the cord back through for final stripping. It is a two step process for the cords. Machine works very good. No complaints.

The negative and positive wires both come with crimp butt-connectors attached to the wires (which are the red things shown in the product picture). These butt-connectors allow you to insert stripped wires (from the piece of equipment you are looking to power with this adapter) into the connector, and crimp closed to create a finished circuit. The only wire stripping you need to do is if the product you are looking to connect does NOT have pre-stripped wires. However, in my case, i needed to remove the pre-connected crimp butt-connectors from this power adapter because the wire I was attaching was too small to take hold. There are different size butt-connectors for different wires. Just visit your local hardware store to get the right size if the one you are trying to connect doesn't take hold after you crimp it! And there are plenty of YouTube videos on butt connectors and proper crimping procedures if you aren't totally comfortable with it.

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

My husband who is an electrician says that no it will not strip phone wire. It would be more worth your time to just scrap the wire with the cover.

If you're asking about stripping it to the copper wire, definitely not! That'll be very dangerous. The clips go over the insulated wires, one on each wire. A normal house has just two "hot" wires. Be very careful when working inside a live panel, if you have any doubts, get an electrician.

I'm trying to recall if I have specifically used 12 gauge for anything or not. I can tell you this though. Everything that I have stripped with it, it has done a wonderful job. This was and still is my first wire stripper like this and I am quite happy with it. I have not had any issues and I have had it for a bout a year now I believe.

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.

I have stripped 12 gauge wire without a problem. The tool grips, cuts and strips fluidly. I don't normally have a need to strip 10 gauge, but, in response to your question, I just tried it on 7-strand 10 gauge wire. Because of the diameter of the multi-strand wire, it would cut the insulation but would not strip it off the wire.

I haven't tried any romex yet. Works very well on single wires. I have been stripping mainly 12 and 10. I don't see why it wouldn't work though.

I have used this tool to strip hundreds 12 awg wires successfully since I got it. It feels almost as easy to strip 12 awg as any other smaller size. Just place the wire at the right position and squeeze.One note: if you use solid conductor of a heavy guage (including 12) make sure that your wire is relatively straight, without big bumps or bends; otherwise the effective cross-section of the wire is increased at the jaws, making the job a lot harder or even impossible.

It comes with a 1 foot pigtail cord on it. We attach more extensions to it. Great machine.

I did not need to use a welding machine to splice [join] the 10-3 wire. I stripped the colored plastic coat of each wire with a simple wire stripper, and twisted the corresponding wires together with wire nuts -- one wire nut for each splice. Then I tightly wrapped the joined ends -- wire nuts and all -- with electric tape. So, the wire junction looks like a clump or nodule because of the four wire nuts. It's not pretty, but it is effective and safe, even for a dummy like me with no electrical saavy. I'm sorry, I can not directly answer your question pertaining to the welding machine, but I hope my answer is still helpful. Good luck!

One of your questions answers the other. The "peculiar diagram" is a diagram of a piece of wire with a portion of the insulation stripped off. The little arrow points to the notch in which you should place the wire. Quoting from the documentation included with the tool.... "The wire-stripper is the groove located on the wire stripper strut. To use, hold the tool so that the handle with the lock release is on your right. Open this handle enough to move it away from the wire-stripper strut. Insert the wire into the groove and gently close the handle to cut through the outer insulation of the wire. Twist and pull wire to strip (see drawing located on the wire-stripper strut)."

This machine easily strips as small as 18 gauge. Smaller wires may be done depending on the nature of the wire and operator's skill level.

You pull the wire through. Used a "makeshift" cradle to hold a reel of wire which allowed the wire to pull thru. It cut and removed the sheathing in one pull. May have to work on getting the setup right but once it is...... happy stripping!

Single wire enters from the left I between the top and bottom grip. Adjut the red length slider to the measument you would like stripped. Squeeze handles and enjoy your stripper wire. Very very easy once you have it in hand
