Well, if I want to get really technical, I can always get a set of
HotTweezers, $400 or so new, $50-$75 on Ebay, similar price from Harold
C Fue if I go to the swapmeet when he's there and he has one. Those
things are great for stripping difficult wire, Ebay's the best bet for
the average hobbyist to find one at a good price. 73 de Alex NS6Y.

Hi
If you happen to own a Hakko 808 desoldering gun then you can insert
the
toroid wire into the nozzle up to the core on the toroid. Then feed a
little
solder and pull the trigger. The enamel will be stripped off and the
wire
cleaned and tined all at the same time by the rush of air over the
wire.
This whole process takes about 10 seconds and gives perfectly stripped
and
tined leads. The only thing better is to buy them already wound,
stripped
and tined from the toroid guy
