My horrible fright quality wire stripper has worn out... Its a pliers
action that clamps then brings two blades on the wire before pulling.
For stripping #22 to #28 wire, what's a good unit?

The one above..assuming the wire size is proper..should be on your list
of things to purchase.

Will these work well on extremely small stranded wire, like #28. I
thought the bigger units would cut off a few of these very fine wires
when stripping.


The nicest one for the smaller sizes is one which looks similar,
but the brand is "Nickless" and it has two blue plastic insert blades
from a turret dispenser. (I hope that they are still made -- I may need
more blades soon. :-)

Enjoy,
