...but he biggest pain for me is stripping the outer sleeve of the cable without cutting through loads of strands of the ground wire. I have wire strippers that are fine for the inner cable. Any tips, am I missing something or is it just a case of cutting carefully with a craft/stanley knife?

I use one of these:



Just make sure you use the appropriate part for your cable, ie. don't go too deep, and it works fine.

Got one of these now. So quick and easy to use compared to messing around with a knife. Only a couple of quid, I heavily  recommend anyone making up their own cables get one. Thanks for the recommendation @robinbowes ;

My pleasure.

Actually no, I heavily recommend anyone making up their own cables give the orders to me instead.
