Holub Wire Stripper
I have an old Holub brand model 18-225 romax wire stripper which is
fantastic for working with romax. I would like to find one for my son. A web search shows up nothing. Anybody have any knowledge of this company? Thanks. Mike D. |

Anybody have any knowledge of this company? Thanks. Mike D. Not really. It shows up on a couple electrical supply house listings: http://tinyurl.com/25qwof http://tinyurl.com/25cd9v Ebay has a couple listings but not for wire strippers. Nothing on Amazon.

One small tool slices the outer casing and the individual wires inside. I guess I need to keep my eyes open at the flea markets. |

You could try calling some electrical supply companies to see if they still have the tool in their inventories. In addition to flea markets check out ads for contractors going out of business. |

If what you are looking for is a stripper that strips off the outer romex jacket, and then can strip the individual wires, Ideal makes one: http://www.mytoolstore.com/ideal/ide11-07.html I have one I bought at a the borg...works really well. It does 12-2 w/g and 14-2 w/g. HTH, Paul |
