## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why is so expensive if Lowes has it for 7 dlls?**
A: Then go to Lowes.

**Q: Will this work on 14/4 CL3 speaker wire?**
A: Not really.  You would be better off with a quality box cutter.  This is very much for electrical wire.  It also does not work well for Cat 5,6,7 or 8 wire.

**Q: Will this strip off the outer shell of 14/3 NM ?**
A: I doubt it... The wire has to be nice and flat to run the cutter up. Works good on 14-2 and 12-2 only if you catch the cutter just right under the sheathing. Since 14-3 is bundled and "round" it would be difficult to use this. The old clamshell stripper isn't much better. I very carefully use a razor knife when doing the 14-3.

**Q: Will it work on 10-3 12-3 o14-3 wire?**
A: This tool is designed to work with 14 and 12 gauge wire
