Wire Stripper/Crimper

Franco B:

There is some good info on crimping tools/crimping in [this] thread.

I use this type of stripper for 98% of the wires I strip. You can get cheap variants of these but the decent ones wrk really well. There is an adjustable depth stop and they are auto adjusting from 0.2-6mm^2

I also sometimes use this type of stripper where length is at a premium and the others can not be used or for 'thinning down' strands.

Thanks for all the info guys!

I'd like them for stripping wire anywhere from 14-20 AWG and for crimping quick disconnects and molex pins.

  Once you use one, you will toss everything else out.

Ok, what about if you want a single tool for stripping and another tool for crimping?  What are the two that you would recommend?

The last two photos in Nephasth's post above.  Just keep in mind that the strippers come in two ranges of hole sizes.  If working with electronics, the smaller one seems to cover the more oft used sizes of wire.
