It’s very simple to make a convenient device for stripping wire insulation (a stripper) from pliers. The pliers will not lose their function, but rather gain new ones and become more useful.
The stripper will be universal, that is, it will strip the main diameters of wires that we need.
Will need
- Pliers, not quite simple, but elongated.
- Metal drills of different diameters according to the cross-section of wires.
We modify the pliers and add a device for stripping wires
We take pliers and with a marker mark the place for drilling on both sides.
Since the diameters of the wires are different, it will be necessary to make several stripping sockets for each wire diameter separately. Therefore, you need to mark everything correctly.
Let's prepare three drills of different diameters: a large medium and a small one. Let's drill the first hole. We clamp the pliers tightly with our hands and make a hole between the planes.
The hole does not need to be made through, but approximately 1 mm from the edge of the drill tip.
Turn the pliers over and drill a hole in the same place.
Eventually the two holes will meet. You need to be careful here, since there should not be a through hole.The drill just needs to start making a hole that will connect to another. The result should be a sharp edge that will just dig into the wire insulation.
View from above. Look carefully.
This is a socket for large diameter wires. We take the wire and try to remove the insulation from it. Everything is great.
In the same way, moving a little, we make another smaller socket for the wires.
We also try cleaning.
If everything is satisfactory, we move on to the third nest.
Three holes were drilled.
The pliers have been modified. By the way, they look very stylish. It was as if they were being sold that way.
We strip the necessary wires again.
The thing is very convenient! Here you have pliers if you need to bend something, here you also have a stripper if you need to remove insulation.
For me, as a radio technician, this is just a godsend!
