Clever wire-stripper design


Thingiverse user Brian Beebe has contributed this great design for an electrified wire-stripper that uses an LED to tell you the instant the razor-blades have penetrated the insulation, completing the circuit that lights it up.

Use:
*
Sight down the blades.
*
Align the blades with where the wire should be stripped.
*
Move the wire into the blades having the blades cut into the insulation.
*
When the blades cut through the insulation and contact the wire the LED will light.
*
Spin the wire or the tool to cut the insulation completely around the wire.
*
Remove the wire from the tool and pull off the insulation.
