No... Wire stripper.
Fed up using side cutters and blade. Are the automatic things any
good and really cover from the jacket of 2.5 T&E down to individual
wires from alarm (stranded) or CW1308 (solid) cables without
adjustment.
I have half an eye on the CK one at Screwfix:

Yay, nay?
Mine happily copes with anything from stripping insulation off thin bell
wire right up to stripping the outer sheath off T&E.
I'm not sure how long it would survive with extensive heavy use but if I
did that much work then I wouldn't need one because I'd have perfected
the technique of quickly applying just the right pressure with side
cutters to make a clean cut without nicking the conductor.
