Re: quik strip

I got a similar set of strippers like that from a Sears hardware store. They're made by Gardner Bender (GB) and cost $9.99. Several companys make them. I do know they currently aren't available through MSC or McMaster-Carr. I also have a set I use at work all the time. They work really well and just have to remember to back off on the tensioning screw before attempting to strip 20 or smaller gauge wire otherwise you rip out wire strands or actually cut the wire.
The other tool I like is my Ideal brand ratcheting crimpers. They have replaceable jaws that you can swap out and instead of crimp terminals you can crimp RJ-11 or RJ-45 connectors or swap them again and crimp coax cable. I find them easier for doing a lot of crimping instead of using the Thomas & Betts orange and black handled crimpers supplied in the KOP.
