I found a thread on these wire strippers but it was last responded to in 2014 so i decided to make a new post. I am interested in the self wire strippers and how they compare to manual wire strippers. What do you use manual or automatic strippers? What style do you recommend? What brand do you use and how has it held up. Its easy enough to strip the insulation on larger wires 10 gauge or less but i am looking for something that can strip wire from say 14 gauge up to 26 gauge. basically cat5e cable will be the smallest wire i will be stripping with most of the wire gauges falling into the automotive size spectrum.
