Works well for about 22 gauge and larger. Is there a similar product that will work for 24, 26, and 28 gauge?

I use these scrapers to remove the enamel on magnet wire I use to wind toroids. The enamel on magnet wire these days can’t be removed in all cases and these scrapers make short work of that!

Much easier and faster than either burning the enamel or scraping with a knife. My drop of the fifth star is because the smaller jaws need to be purchased separately, rather than an original option. You _can_ strip 28ga magnet wire with the stock 0.5mm jaws, but you need to fiddle a bit.All in all, a time saver!

Stripping magnet wire insulation is very easy with this tool. I use to clean ends of 22ga wire after winding toroids. This tool allows me to do so without bending or otherwise damaging the wire in the process. Much better than scraping with a razor knife or using sandpaper. Different size blades are also available. A must have for my workbench.

Tool arrived in just a few days in perfect condition from KC Tool in Olathe KS. I got this tool for stripping enameled wire used for winding toroids and I have to say it works beautifully. In the past I used a combination of sand paper and/or burning it off with a lighter but these were never very clean or efficient. With this tool it just takes a few pulls and the wire is shiny copper. Many thanks to Kirk, NT0Z, for mentioning this tool in his Nov 2015 column in The Spectrum Monitor; wish I had this years ago. The tool comes standard with 0.6 mm blades, suitable for about AWG 22 or larger. It's too small for 28 AWG, which I use quite a lot, so I will order a smaller tool, I expect it will work just as well. 73, Elwood, WB0OEW.
