In, AWG hole is 0.1mm smaller which made stripping difficult.
The cutting edge bit through the insulation around the conductor, and it also bit into the conductor, too, leaving nice nick below the surface of the conductor.
The strippers will get stuck on the nick unless you relax your grip on the handles enough to allow the edges to ride back up and onto the surface of the conductor.
When stripper is brand new, I've found that cutting into the insulation using AWG hole, and then using AWG hole, or the plier tips to pull off the insulation works with insulation.
Wire strippers that start out to tight, do not begin to develop gap between the two sides until long down the road, if you drop them often. 3.
It should not fall out, except if the tool is dropped, the cardboard backing could bow out enough, and then, Oops..
The problem is trying to get the tool to open its jaws wide enough to accept 1 cable.
Another problem is that the cutting feature is located at the bottom of the jaws, for leverage and strength.
For me, it's not problem or UDF cable, and I do not have problem with flipping over AWG cable, if needed.
even if the blades are long enough to cut wide, the length of the cutting edge does not mean much if the distance between the blades is too narrow for the wire or cable to fit inside.
