This review is from: Ancor 702065 Marine Grade Electrical Battery Cable Stripper (Sports)

I bought this for a wiring upgrade project for my car. It works ok if two conditions are met:
1) The cable has hard vinyl type insulation, and
2) the conductor inside is perfectly centered and perfectly round.
Unfortunately I was using 1/0 AWG cable with a thick rubbery insulator, and the strands were not perfectly round inside the cable. This lead to the not especially sharp blade dragging the cable rather than slicing it, and damaging many of the conductor strands. I was able to do a far better job with a simple jacknife blade.
The description states "extra BLADES". There is only one extra blade included inside the handle, and the spring loaded clamp that pulls the cable against the blade was different (not black and apparently a reinforced casting as in the Amazon site photo, but a bent piece of cheaply chromed flat metal stock.
