Anyone recommend a decent automatic wire stripper, mainly for use
with electronics projects and automotice work ? (occasional use but
frequent)

Time to put the old stanley knife away before I hurt myself trying
to splice a wire

Thanks

This kind is good IME:

This kind is convenient but sometimes is absolutely terrible:

One of these has been my firm favourite over the last 40 years or so...

.... the only problem being that it's a bit awkward to squeeze the head
into very tight spots. For accessible wires it's great, though, and it
certainly passes the durability test.

(At this rate we'll soon have recommended everything Maplin has to
offer)
