Default tool for stripping wires without cutting them?

That's exactly the item that I was going to suggest as well. They are
made for the job of in-line splicing, and do it very well.


And look like the bodge they are. ;-) You'll not find them used on a
maker's harness.


Do you think that stripping an inch of insulation in the middle of a run is
a better way to go? If so, you'll not be doing any wiring on my car. ;-)
Short of soldering, I can't think of anything more reliable than IDC type
crimp-ons. They're used all over the place in critcal applications. e.g.
computer data cables, network and telephone industry etc. Auto makers use
plenty of crimp-on pins too. :-)
