00:00If you strip copper wire for scrap, for resale, or just to clean up a messy garage,
00:04you already know how brutal this job can be with a dull knife and a pair of gloves.
00:09So I went down the rabbit hole and pulled the numbers on the best sellers,
00:12and today I'm giving you my top 5 wire stripping tools for copper cable.
00:17These range from pocket-sized hand tools all the way up to a 180-watt electric beast,
00:22so there's something here for every budget.
00:24Kicking off at number 5, we've got the Suckey by Electric Wire Stripping Machine,
00:29and this thing is an absolute monster if you're processing serious volume.
00:33It handles cables from 1.5 all the way up to 25mm, runs at 60 feet per minute,
00:39and gives you three feeding holes so you're not constantly readjusting.
00:43At $124.46, it's the priciest pick on this list, but with a 4.7 rating and nearly 4,800
00:51sold,
00:51people are clearly feeding it scrap copper and getting paid.
00:55If you strip wire as a side hustle, this one pays for itself fast.
00:59Next up, number 4 is the Manual Wire Stripping Machine with the Drill Powered option,
01:04and honestly, this is the value king of the whole list.
01:08It peels 1-21mm cable, you can crank it by hand or hook it up to an electric drill for
01:13way less effort,
01:14and it's just $22.63.
