Are they any good?

Can't help with that one (although genuine CK stuff is usually good).

I bought one of these (I think on a recommendation here) and it is
excellent. I've been using it a lot recently.

They do a range, but that one is about 20 quid.

At university, when I couldn't have afforded wire strippers I stripped a
length of figure-of-8 two-core mains flex with my teeth and the mains was
on.

I've never forgotten, decades later.

That certainly explains the problem between your ears.
