Any homeowner that does any type of work with wire will wonder how he or she lived without this. The current price is about $20 and after using it, I would gladly pay the current price. If you don’t already have this tool or a similar one, I’d recommend purchasing it even if you don’t have a need for it today. Just about every installation video for these connectors uses a tool similar to these self-adjusting wire stripper I am very excited to actually use the tool in a project and not just testing it! I’m working on putting all my HAM radio equipment in a transportable box (more on that another day) and everything I’ve read says to use Anderson Powerpole connectors. I do have to tug on the side that isn’t getting stripped so that the wire doesn’t move, but other than that the tool is simple to use. I was in awe that the tool worked so well it was almost too good to be true. After I got used to the tool (it didn’t include instructions and I was at first confused as to how it worked), all I wanted to do is find wire to strip! Whatever wire I threw at it, it did a flawless job at taking off the insulation and not touching the wire. I put the wire in the tool, squeezed the handles and the wire was effortlessly stripped. I tried the stripper on different stranded and solid wire. When I received the stripper, I looked for scrap pieces of wire in my random collection of parts. I’ve installed outlets, switches, ran Cat 6 cable, installed landscape lighting, ran speaker wire, and numerous other projects that required me to strip wire. If it worked as advertised, this tool could have saved me countless hours over the last 20 years of being a home owner. The theory behind this tool is that you put in any gauge wire and it strips it without nicking the wire. In December I saw the IRWIN VISE-GRIP Self-Adjusting Wire Stripper on sale and it looked interesting. While I might not have a need for it today who knows when it will come in handy in the future. So when I see a tool that may come in handy, I think about purchasing it for my collection. Like many people, I like to have the right tool whenever I do household projects.
#NEWEST PHOTOSWEEPER UPDATE#
Let’s hope that a software update doesn’t remove this functionality. Once it was up again, I reconnected my phone and presto, it worked! This definitely should be documented somewhere as it is extremely convenient. I pushed and held the power button to reset the unit. Yesterday I plugged in my phone as normal and CarPlay didn’t start. It actually worked! Now I had a potential workaround the next time I had a problem. I found this hard to believe, but went out to my car and tried it out. I searched and searched and found on a forum (can’t find the reference right now) that if you press and hold the power button for the radio until it shuts off and then for another 10 seconds, the unit restarts. That left me without navigation but luckily my son was able to use an iPad connected to my hotspot to navigate.Īfter this episode, I started looking for the real answer to rebooting the infotainment system. I could wait 10 minutes, but I had to leave. I had read that opening and closing the door 3 times would reboot the car, but it didn’t work. However, last Saturday it didn’t start again and I actually needed the navigation to get somewhere. This is annoying and I thought the problems were gone with the recents updates. A few months ago in my post about a year with my 2017 Subaru Impreza, I mentioned that sometimes CarPlay doesn’t start.
