In using (he popular rubber-covered stranded hook-up wire, radio constructors construc-tors usually experience considerable trouble in skinning Ihe ends for con- ! ncctioiis.

Merely file Ihe I jaws ff the chimp smooth, and then j cut in them, with a throe-cornered j file, a notch which Is roughly the size ' of flic wire. To n-e the fool, simply close the jaws over the wire to he skinned, squeeze wilh Ihe lingers and at the same time pull outward toward Ihe wire's end.
