Thanks, Andy I like the cheapo flat metal ones for general use. You can adjust it for wire size if you are doing the same size wire multiple times but once you get the feel for it, you can strip wire with it wide open and not nick the conductor. http://www.mcmelectronics.com/produc...K-223-/22-3775 I have carried one in my tool bag for about 50 years I have a Klein ergonomic soft handled stripper in my electrical tool bag I've probably had for 10 to 15 years along with Ideal, Greenlee and other Klien strippers. I bought the Ideal automatic wire stripper 30 years ago when I was making hundreds of #14 stranded connections in fire alarm and control panels. It's funny how long cutting and stripping tools will last when you keep them away from idiots who think they're for cutting nails, screws, hanger and piano wire. ^_^ [8~{} Uncle Ideal Monster I have a Klein multi tool. It never was right. I had to do some filling to get the thing better aligned. Greg Are you referring to the tool that strips wire and shears screws too? 8-) [8~{} Uncle Multi Monster Yep, and crimps.
