I had to laugh when I was thinking about the wire stripping because I work with a large group of volunteers that do construction of all of our places of worship in the central Texas area. And no one's too old to help out as we have a canopy that usually shades several older women sitting there stripping all of the leftover wire so that we can redeem the copper. I was bordering on heat exhaustion one day & was asked if I wanted to join the strippers over at their tent for awhile. Ohhhh, the look on my face before understanding crept in! Another hack I find interesting about the vegetable peeler is that we typically use only one of the two blades, So when yours gets dull (and you have no words to strip), either switch directions or trade peelers with an opposite handed person- it will feel brand new!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12115079530960241369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3154120257955860216.post-87198242020918183142016-05-07T23:24:00.482-07:002016-05-07T23:24:00.482-07:00a couple years ago I was in a store somewhere and ...a couple years ago I was in a store somewhere and they were clearing out some wire.

The amount of get in scrap is NOTHING, especially compared to the cost. I was going to keep it, but I wasn't looking forward to stripping it with a box knife. I may still have to use box knife on the outer insulation, is REALLY thick, but it is cracking, so it won't be real bad. Where this WILL ROCK is on the 3 pieces of insulated heavy Guage wire on the inside! I'll let you know how it goes when I get around to it this spring, when I can work outside. It's too big to bring in.
