Any electricians on here?

I used to be an electronics mechanic working on submarines. I got trained to use a wire stripper of different kinds with preset gaging as using a knife risks scoring the wire and introduce a failure point.
 
@ray. I also sometimes use that type of wire stripper. Mostly I use my linesman plyers. I don't nick the conductors. That not what I'm talking about here though. I'm talking about the cable jacket. Not the wire insulation

@lieblad. That mineral insulated stuff is terrible but I use my side cutters for that stuff mostly. Nice gun lineup. I also have all of those. I was lucky as when we got our new gun laws many people gave up on ownership and I'd very often come home from work and find a couple guns in my shed, people would drop off instead of seeing them destroyed by the government
 
Mechanic and/or millwright should never be used in the same sentence as electrician or electronic, except in this case.
