Appreciation post: my journeyman pointed out my wire stripping was costing me 15 minutes a day

He showed me how to set the stripper depth on my Klein 11055s for 12 AWG instead of just squeezing until it felt right. What's your biggest time-saving trick that seems obvious now?

Set your stripper to the right gauge and just roll the wire out instead of pulling. Saves your hands and a stupid amount of time.

My old foreman swore by that rolling method on 12-gauge wire. He said pulling strips unevenly and can nick the conductor. Makes total sense now that I've tried it.

My buddy Phil wrecked a whole spool of 10-gauge trying to pull instead of roll, and @dixon.amy saw it happen.
