I think they cost about $50. It works really well on Kynar,       Teflon, and the PVC used in the rainbow-colored IDC flat able. It was made to       strip the end for wire-       wrapping, and any nick would have made the wire too fragile to wrap.       >        > I also prefer 2A tweezers to do the point-to-point manipulation, and 63-37       solder.              Speaking of strippers. Mine is made by commercial electric and it often cuts       into the copper and the the crimper is useless.              What do you recommend?       Andy              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
