Title: Wire Gauge on crackatwoa
Post by: Hornet900 on January 26, 2022, 09:45:25 AM
Hello

Can someone please tell me what Gauge wire the crackatwoa amp uses as I'm buying some new wire strippers

I've seen these on amazon , think these be good? Thanks

Those will work with all the wire sizes you'll find in a Crack.  Stripmaster 45-2115 are worth the money if you plan to build multiple kits, especially the higher end products with nicer wire like the Crack-a-two-a.

Thank Paul

I just had a quick look at those stripmasters ..very expensive here in the Uk :)

I was watching a secondhand pair tho on ebay not but not sure the model number they say vintage

Not sure it be wise to get used secondhand old ones

Thank again

They are so much better than pretty much everything else that I would recommend rolling the dice.  Something looks off about that pair though (the stripping blades), I would look for a different one.  I think they are actually for coax, which isn't so helpful.

*Edit: it looks like someone in the UK does sell new stripper blades for this, so that seems less concerning.

I think the bonus from doing that is if you hate them, Farnell would probably allow a return.

I did like the hornet 900 but it was a bit too vibey , the one I had vibration through the bars and footpegs not too bad tho but it annoyed me  lovely looking bike though and sounded nice with aftermarket pipes on.  the Cb1300 in the pic is gone now that was a really nice bike wish I never sold it ....Massive thing tho big and smooth no vibes only had 5 gears and I really missed the 6th gear even on that bike you needed 6th ..

started riding scooters now lol   ;D

smooth

Ehhhh, I got this one thinking the AWG was similar. No dice! Too big. Won’t strip the cables.

 These are a nightmare to find in the EU

Tried the Stanley Fatmax. That one just tears apart the entire wire.
