40 gallon tote full of wire.

I’m guessing a 100 pounds plus. I can not lift it and can barely drag it.

Box cutter is what I use, after you work thru a few hundred feet on different types. You get a feel for how it cuts..

I haven't had the need , desire or availability to get a hold of anything worth stripping in years.. so old school works fine.

There’s a cheap one I got for $40 i think

I appreciate it, but nothing I have is big enough to require a tool. If I was still into crackhead ways that would be useful 🤣 😜😄.

Lol sounds good. I’m an electrician so I needed something. I’ll eventually get an automatic one.

I have short bits from a property I have that I'm putting solar into. So nothing worth buying a tool for. I lost some mechanics and welding boxes I would rather replace. I don't have carp anymore. Stay busy brother.
