This is probably the most used tool in my electronics tool box. It cuts and strips wires, only one job, and it does it perfectly.
It has notches for 16-26AWG wire.
I have tried auto-strippers and they are meh’. I actually like the auto stripper tool for working with ribbon cable, otherwise this thing rocks. I believe these are made by Ideal, I have no idea where I picked them up from…
I am going to get so much more traffic now that I used the word “stripper” in a post.
Which reminds me, has anyone read the book Female Chauvinist Pig: The rise of Raunch Culture in America by Ariel Levy? It is a a good read. There is a cool interview with her over on Fresh Air with Terry Gross.
