[sdiy] Wire Strippers

[Florian Anwander]

Hello Terry

I use  a "Knipex 12 42 195" which is basically the same like yours.  It 
works nicely with single stranded wires, but has trouble with shielded 
cables like in patchfield cabling or in multicores. For shielded cables 
I still need this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BGKW11FK

And in regards of your eyesight: I use a "Rona magnifier headset" like 
this
