Anyone able to recommend a good, affordable stripper for doing ribbon cable?

I have only used these on ribbon cable:



They are not the best solution but they work. Look forward to seeing other ideas from other members..

I use my ideal stripmaster, but it only does one wire at a time.  Not sure if that is what you are looking for or not.

Same here. It's the only thing I've found that will strip 3 or more wires at once.

Thanks, guys.
What brand is that and where can I find it?

I pick them up at Harbor Freight but make sure you try them out there since the quality can be from ass to not so ass. I know Lowes and Home Depot carry them also and may be better build quality. I think it GB Tools that makes the ones I have seen in Lowes.

When we first moved there, my wife took a part-time job at the Blockbuster down the street. No kidding, one night Method Man showed up to rent some videos.  8)

That's awesome. lol

Never meet any one from the Wu but I did meet E-40 here in San Francisco and hung out at a bar with him for a few hours. He was a crack up.

Well, totally shut out.
Home depot, Lowes, 2 Ace hardware stores, an electrical supply store and Grainger. No luck.


Harbor freight had one, but it looked like a piece of crap.

If you're set on the length of ribbon pieces you need, i'd simply buy custom cutted length/stripped bundles from www.squires.com

Nice link. Thanks Rej, I may use that for a few projects here at work also.

I have a couple of Proskit spanners that are *just right* for Alpha pot nuts (10mm) and those red toggle switches (8mm). The 8mm one also fits the 3.5mm jack nuts perfectly as well :D
