The insulation can then be peeled back from the wire as far back as the strip and clipped off in the usual manner.  The wire I use is from RadioShack and unfortunately the actual manufacturer is not listed for it.  John

If you are using Radio Shack's 30-gauge wrapping wire, then just get 
their wire wrapping tool:

It comes with a wire stripper that strips this wire perfectly.  But only 
a strip-mall RadioShack will carry this tool.
