Shoutout to the guy who showed me the proper way to strip 12/2 MC cable

I was taking 45 seconds per connector until he showed me his trick with the cable stripper and a twist, now it's under 15. Anyone have a different method they prefer?

What's the actual trick with the cable stripper? I've been using the ol' score and snap method, but it's hit or miss. Sometimes I nick the wires and have to start over. If you can get it down to 15 seconds cleanly, that's a game changer for a whole day of terminations. I need to try this next time I'm pulling in a bunch of home runs.

Watched my buddy Dave struggle with that for months. He finally got shown to set the blade just deep enough to score the jacket without touching the inner wires, then you kind of roll and pull it off. Said it felt weird at first but after a few tries he was stripping cables clean in like ten seconds flat.
