Re: Recommendations for self-adjusting wire stripper

I like the Home Depot strippers. Be advised that there are good ones and bad ones using this design. One of them is marketed under the Ideal Tool name that seems to be the better of the bunch. I do not like the Amazon strippers as they tend to pull some strands and generally squeeze the insulation. I have a small pair of standard wire strippers that I use at work. I think they came from McMaster. They are Ideal T-Strippers, #45-318. Not self adjusting but simple graduated strippers that have a locking closer and grippers at the ends that are like pliers.
