Default better wire stripper and crimp pins

My horrible fright quality wire stripper has worn out... Its a pliers

For stripping #22 to #28 wire, what's a good unit?


Paladin makes a pliers-type gizmo that works well; pricey, though.

I usually use the pliers-type with ground notches and spring opening
(Diamond WS7E is the make and model I like best), but you have to
protect the edges (it has to go in a holster so the sharp bits don't
get
dinged in the tool pile).
