After 8 years I just realized my wire stripping method was costing me time on every termination.

I was watching a new apprentice and saw him strip a 12-gauge wire in one smooth motion while I was still doing my old two-step pinch and pull, so which method do you actually find faster?

Eight years and you never noticed the pinch and pull was slow? That's wild. The one-motion strip is absolutely faster once your hands get the muscle memory. I had the same moment watching a guy on a commercial site. My whole crew switched methods after that. How many terminations do you think that old habit added up to?

Honestly makes you wonder how much time gets wasted on the old way. @ericfox, that muscle memory point is huge, it feels clunky at first but then it just clicks. Bet the switch saved your crew a crazy amount of hours over a year.
