Teeth work well on many times of wire insulation. However there are some pretty tough insulations out there in the wide world of electron highways. Nowadays there are many insulations that are actually molded on the wire these will strip your teeth out of your head. I had a kid working for me that did the stripping wire with his teeth. He did it despite my warnings but this time he tried it on a recently powered up guitar amp which never had the capacitors bled off. 500 volts DC later he found himself on the other side of the room under a work bench and was ready to “go on the ride again “ vowing to continue stripping wire with his teeth. Unfortunately I was unable to fire him as he was the nephew of the owner. He eventually got tired of getting shocked and joined the Army.
