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.


OK I'm a dinosaur, but for most things I use a Victorinox two blade
penknife. The bigger blade is only 75mm but it is always extremely
sharp.In fact I sharpen it before each significant period of use. It's a
matter of skill and practice to strip wires this way; to cut through the
plastic but not damage the conductor.
