| Quote: | Hi Jeff,
I bought the same tool a few months ago. But I am reluctant to use it because I have difficulty in using it properly: it strips the insulation off the wire fine, but when I open the handles to release the wire, I find that it holds onto the insulated part and then the “claws” then ruin the copper strands by squashing them. Its nothing major, but then I have to go and twist the strands together again by hand.
Do you have the same problem? Is there a way to set it so it doesn’t do that?

The tool you linked is a clone of the Ideal Industries Stripmaster.
I have excerpted a few parts from the spare parts catalog. Check
your tool for Item 8 and it's associated spring Item 9. If the spring
is too weak or missing, you will experience the late release phenomenon
you describe. On old tools, the cam-notch in the latch wears and
can cause the same problem.
