I gave it 5 stars for what it is. It_ not fancy. It took me about 10ft #12 thhn to figure it out and a learn how to use it. But once you figure out how to set it up and get the blade set it pretty simple and easy to use. I have tried 14, but #12 is efficient to strip and a lot faster Then conventional methods, but is it_ kinda fidgety. But once you strip like # 10 and bigger this thing works a lot smoother and goes a lot a faster actually
