Re: Recommendations for self-adjusting wire stripper

I don't have them yet but I have played with the Irwin pair in the store and they have pretty good build quality for the price. They have great Amazon reviews too.

I found these at Lowes. If I remember correctly they were in the pliers section, not the wire stripper section. I haven't put them through a ton of use, but I've stripped some 14 gauge and been very satisfied so far.

Re: Recommendations for self-adjusting wire stripper

I have used both the home depot ones and the irwin ones.

The home depot ones are not that impressive, while our team has liked the Irwin ones so much the we bought a 2 pairs after using a members for a while.

Once properly adjusted they will take the sheathing of cat 5 with one squeeze and strip all 8 strands with the second squeeze.

The main thing that our team likes about it though, is that it will strip both sides of 12 awg zip-cord at the same time. And with the stop it lets you keep the stripped amount consistent for your whole robot.
