I'm posting here as this is a wiring related issue. I'm building an amp for my 2nd system. While most of the internal wiring will be either 14 or 18 awg (Vampire cast copper) , for the input signal wiring I've settled on 23 awg Neotech 7/9 solid silver/teflon wire. All my strippers only go down to 22 awg. I have an Ideal 45-092 which I like a lot and I could order the 20 - 30 awg blade set for, or both Hakko and Klein both make out front 20 - 30 awg strippers that look ok. Alas none of these contains a die specifically for 23 awg .Is 22 close enough to 23 that it won't matter (teflon coated remember ? Should I make an initial cut using a good 22 awg die and finish with a razor and then remove with needlenose ? I only need 12 cuts so I'd like to forgo a thermal stripper if I can. OPINIONS PLEASE!!!!!

| 22 should be able to cut 23. The cutter will cut through one side at least. , posted on July 28, 2014 at 10:22:20 | |

The PLUS side of it is the cutter is not going to nick your valuable wire!

The tool is rated for 22-10 AWG, but it works just fine with my 26 AWG OTA and XLO solid core wire.
