Ma Bell gave her boys a special stripper for that stuff. It had
two notchs for the wire and a guide to hold the jacket in the right
position. I saw one, but I never saw anyone use one. The new stuff
has a plastic jacket tht can be even worse.


Having been a friend of Ma Bell...contractor...I had one. Didnt work
worth a ****.

I probably still have it somewhere out in the bins
