Only comment is that these require you to get the wire positioned between
the correct hole on the cutter blade. Get it off center and you either get
a bad strip or a cut wire.
The Paladin tool uses a pressure-sensitive set of blades that automatically
strip _any_ wire size anywhere on the blade with no nicking. (there is a
range of sizes that it works on - mine is about 10 to 22 gauge) It is fast.
Also, the Paladin tool holds the bit of insulation until you release the
handle - you can cut and strip and then move the tool over a garbage can to
drop the waste.
Both are good.
Also, Paladin makes a coax stripper that is cool but really really fussy to
set up. I use one of Larry's strippers for that - this one (the cutter
blades are replaceable) is sized for the coax I use - one hole cuts the
external insulation, one cuts the wire braid and one cuts the internal
insulation.

Oh yea, Larry's got the right tool. I've got one and I have to say it's
friggin awesome. However, mine doesn't have the depth guage. :( What model
is
that Larry?
Now if I could just find one like this that does coax!
