A scraped or cut section of cable that you can actually see bare copper. Not a happy sight.

A shiner is a short waiting to happen ,caused by those cheap plastic strippers, because the Tech doesn't know twist cause bumps and when you ream the jacket to tight it will cause shiners,That's why I allways train them with snips,and pull strings,ONLY!

speaking of pull strings, we always leave pull strings when we do a job. Sure makes it nice if we have to come back and pull more. Does anyone else leave string behind?

We always leave a pull string in major conduits--and a note in the closet that if the string is used, please pull another. That actually works, sometimes.

As far as strippers, I use the cheap little Siemon stripper (less than $5.00 at Graybar).

I think he's talking about the filament inside Cat5 that you can pull on to strip more sheathing. I thought I was the only one that used it. I'll usually cut a little sheathing with my scissors, then grab the filament and use it to strip as much as I need.
