Exactly Brady ,That is the only 100% sure way ,as far as I am concerned. I guess you could perfect your method with the cheap $5.00 strippers ,but why take the chance ,when you can use your snips, and pull string.I have seen too many shiners caused by improper use of strippers, So if I run the job they are prohibited.

I've seen "shiners" caused by the string, when it gets wrapped around the conductor. Either way, you have to be careful, pay attention, don't rush through it, and somewhat know what you are doing. Sorry to use the old cliche, but it's not brain surgery. You just have to check your work as you go, that's all. ------------------ ![[Linked Image from sundance-communications.com]](https://www.sundance-communications.com/ad-icon/1034.gif) | Signal Communication Systems - Fresno, CA | | Telephone Systems, Voicemail Syste... & Data Cabling - Central Valley, CA

I personnally don't bother with the strings (unless I am stripping back to a 66 block) I simply make a small score in the jacket, a quick bend back and forth then pull. It is a little extra work, but never nicked a wire since I started doing it, beside not every cable comes with a a rip cord.

there it is "rip cord" is the term I forgot. I always use them as well but they do shine a wire if you buy the cheap stuff ------------------ Altcomm @ A.S.E Inc ![[Linked Image from altcomm.com]](https://www.altcomm.com/images/altcommlogo1.gif)
