Gentlemen,

What's the most effective type of wire stripper for doing the smallest
commonly available lighting cable (I think it's 1^2mm)?

Ta.



I have a couple of these

and they work well for stripping both the sheath from mains and lighting
wire and then stripping the individual strands.

The handle has a wire cutter. The crimp functionality on the handles is
crap - you need a proper ratchet crimp tool for crimps.

Note: I've also had some experience with the cheaper version which have
slightly different arrangement on the cutting side. They have two razor
blade type inserts. I don't find this type very satisfactory as the
blades seem too aggressive and tend to dig into copper nicking it.
