How Do You Cut Thick Wire...I Wanna Know.


Recommended Posts

I use tin snips, or tree branch trimmers (cheap and very effective), or a hacksaw. For stripping the casing off I use a box cutter for the sheer fact that you only have to worry about like a quarter of an inch of that razor blade sinking into your skin in the event of an accident. Pipe cutters work well for stripping the wire too, lol.

we have something like these at work. They use it to cut 90 conductor wire with the outside casing being about the size of 4/0. it has a ratchet mechanism and even the 65 year old lady at work can cut through it like butter

you can cook bacon shirtless if you're not a pussy...lol

not hatin, but am i wrong here it looks as if the amp is not grounded its hooked directly to the battery. it that the way it should be.

Before I got cutters worth a damn I used garden sheers, they cut it like butter (and have some grip on the one side of the blade too). Then just use razor around the wire and pull it off to strip.

0 doesnt seem too hard, but within the next year I'm going to do a big three with 4/0 wire. Bolt cutters have an issue cutting that -.-

Also, where can I get a set of the third ones in the pictures? Been looking online but no results.

No system planned just yet.

Look at "hate" spelled backwards. It spells "e-tah." For example, if you hate me you can e-tah dick.
