Answer:
One reason why stripping tool designed for use with solid wire cannot be used on stranded wire is that the diameter of a stranded wire is larger than the diameter of a solid wire of the same gauge.
Therefore, a tool for stripping a 8-gauge solid wire cannot be used for stripping a 8-gauge stranded wire as the diameter of an American Wire Gauge, AWG 8-guage solid wire (0.129 inches in diameter) is smaller than the diameter of an AWG 8-gauge stranded wire (0.152 inches in diameter)
