You can use a ruler or just eyeball it. It is suggested to mark the spot with a marker or a small scratch. Once you follow this step, it makes sure you only strip wire where you need to. It also helps you avoid cutting too much.<\/p><p>Tip: Always double-check your measurement before you start stripping wire.
