[sdiy] Wire Strippers

[Terry Bowman]

My bad eyesight is really giving me a hard time right now. I need new glasses and that will take months. Meanwhile, it's taking forever to strip a few wires. I have to look very closely at the stripper to find the right hole/slot over and over from one end to the next. This is ridiculous.

Is there such a thing as a "reliable" self-adjusting wire stripper that can do smaller wire, say 18-28AWG? I don't need the electrician's model.

I'm looking at the stuff all over this page and not getting particularly excited:

I once saw something that works like a cigar "circumcisor" (as Dr. Gene Scott called it). That would be even more convenient. It might have been in a synth video. If I have to I'll buy more than one stripper and set each for a specific gauge.
