I plan to install a remote starter in my car. I'd like to buy a tool
to strip the wires, if its not too expensive. I have a set of plier-
like ones, where you insert the wire into the correct slot, squeeze
the handles, then pull the wire through, shedding the insulation.

But that is only for stripping the ends of wires. I'd like to be able
to strip wires 'inline', without cutting them. Is that what an
automatic stripper does? Like

Or is there another tool? Thanks.


I use several mentioned in this thread, including yours. I also use a
"T-Rex" for ribbon cable and such like:

Sorry, I just realised that you wanted to strip *without* cutting.
