    I've been looking round for something that fits the bill, for a tool I am convinced I saw on American Hotrod.

    I'm after a wire stripper tool that strips the wire mid-way down the length of the wire, rather than off the end of it like regular wire stripper do. Meaning you could splice a second wire to the stripped wire, without cutting and resoldering it.

    Or is it a case of knowing a technique using a normal tool?

    This is what we use in the RAF... Perfect for the jobs once you set them up for the cable size and insulation thickness...:thumbup:

    I bought a set of Mac strippers that can spread the insulation apart, to be honest if you use a scraper razor blade you can just do two round cuts into the wire 10mm apart and a straight cut down it and peel a section out.
