UnderLoK Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Strip your big wire with a razor blade. Slice around, pull off. Any name brand strippers should last you years. Orion is spot on, using stripers for 1/0+ is way too much work compared to a razor. All you do is spin the razor around the jacket and it comes right off. As for the others, I have a couple Kleins as well, but just for crimping and stripping 8g and under.

Trey_Dog650 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 These are the (4) wire strippers any good installer has on hand..... The far right are Klein 0g and large cutters, the next are your Klein dual groove crimps, the next are your Klein speed strippers, and the last are for like alarms and small gauge wires. Hope this helps... Lol i got the ones on the ends. The one on the far right is what i called cable cutter. Idk if thats the right name haha Quote 13 Kia Forte Build! 07 Hyundai Accent Build ***Super Seller*** N8ball2013 And then he gets to say ok all you guys were right. im sorry for being a dummy poo poo head.

AA98hoe Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) Kleins are the best.. red handle.. never broke a pair yet. Then I use some quality stripper for up to 10g.. then my utility knife for 0g. Plus I have $180 dollars 0g crimpers that look like bolt cutters :-) oh and of course red handle klein cable cutters go through 3/0 -0g with ease. They will take a finger off easy Edited October 24, 2011 by dc98hoe Quote TEAM DC AUDIO VEHICLE:98 chevy tahoe 2wd 3-4 drop HEADUNIT:alpine 9886 PREAMP:arcaudio FRONT STAGE:4-6 1/2s selinium,DD component set and 4-selinium tweeters in each door KICKPANELS:jl audio 5 1/4 REAR DOORS: dd components 6 1/2s HIGHS AMPS:zapco 750.2 on front doors,zapco an another 750.2 on kicks and rear doors SUBS:4-ascendant audio 18s with 5 spiders in a custom box built by KINGSUV SUB AMP: 2-dc7.5s ALTERNATORS: 3-mechmans 1- 425comp, 1-smd spec350, 1-270 with adj voltage harness on custom dc bracket WIRE:10-runs 0g front to back BATTERIES:6-d1400s TL results:157.1 at 38hz and 156.8 at headrest score @37hz.

skittlesRgood Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Strip your big wire with a razor blade. Slice around, pull off. Any name brand strippers should last you years. i just use the big cutters. light squeeze on one side, rotate 90* squeeze again and rotate the wire while squeezing. little practice and you can do it without cutting much of any wire (1-5 strands) and there is no chance of cutting yourself. be safe bro Quote If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude.

JGrady Posted October 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 I'm going to get kleins. I noticed some of their tools are pretty pricy, but I guess depending on what you need them for the price reflects the quality of the tools. The tips you guys have for stripping zero gauge wire is going to help me out a lot and cut down on the time, but do you think this would work or would be a waste of time? http://www.lowes.com/pd_330219-16878-54038_4294822077+4294821403_4294937087_?productId=3308326&Ns=p_product_prd_lis_ord_nbr|0||p_product_qty_sales_dollar|1&pl=1¤tURL=%2Fpl_Copper%2Btube%2Bcutter_4294822077%2B4294821403_4294937087_%3FNs%3Dp_product_prd_lis_ord_nbr%7C0%7C%7Cp_product_qty_sales_dollar%7C1&facetInfo=Copper%20tube%20cutter Quote 2007 Ford Expy 1x 12w7 1x Slash 1000 v2 1x mephis 4 channel Hertz ECX 570 Hertz ESK 570 Pioneer P4200DVD ----------------------- Future Upgrades: 2x 18" FI Audio SP4(Walled) dc 3.5k dc 175.4 2 sets of HAT Clarus C61-2 leaning on Hertz though Multiple XS D3100 batteries 2x mechman alternators Big 3 upgrade HID 6000k headlights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoudNLow931 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 For 0gauge I use a razer blade to strip it, to crimp I use a hammer crimper. You can find both on eBay lol.
