That isnt funny :(

I used to use my teeth to strip cables when I was younger.

Havent been able to do it for quite some time but am now about to lose 4
teeth at the front :( :(

Was at the dentist last week discussing my options and I almost fainted
when
he suggested implants at a cost of £2000.... then he said PER TOOTH.
:(

Use a pair of cutters.... its MUCH cheaper in the longrun.

As others have said, practice makes perfect, proper wie strippers are also
OK, (not the automagic one, manual ones with a thumbwheel adjustment)
provided they are set correctly but once you get the knack of using cutters
to nick the insulation and pull it away without damaging the conductors you
will find it is by far the quickest and cheapest option :)
