| Best Place to get 22 gauge wire and disconnects? |

sorry, I meant non-bulk... most CP's don't need 1000 feet - Plus I like lots of different colors - so you can tell what wire is what (more reason for non-bulk)! |

I got strippers at radio shack yesterday, work amazing, I used it to strip 22 gauge solid, 24 stranded (although you cannot strip a lot at once with them) and used them to strip the outer cover off CAT6 cable. $20 in the store, worth every penny - save yourself the headache, and get good ones http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3932546. They claim to work for 10-24 gauge. I think it would work for even smaller solid wire, stranded 24 is probably the limit in my experience. --- End quote --- I wouldn't use those strippers for stripping cat6 putter jacket. You'll nick up the induvidual wires. Those auto strippers are typically used for thhn cable which is typically used in commercial light and power. They will also work on other cables but they're not meant for cleanly stripping outer jacket if sheathed cable. |

http://www.prowireusa.com They sell by the foot. They will sell a spool. They sell shielded wire. Wire is mil spec. They sell many different colors/combos so each wire on your project can be coded. Good enough for me! I plan on using them for my arcade project as well as soon when I make an engine harness for my car. |
