DougHillman:

Anyone using one of those automatic wire strippers that you can get at Radio Shack and the like?  The work OK?  Do what they're supposed to?  Worth the $15 or so?



SirPeale:

Some are decidedly better than others.  I've got a pair that I've had for years.  Words of advice: don't lube them with WD-40.  Gummed it up for years afterwards, before I found out about 3-in-1 oil.

daywane:

check around. I found mine at a dollar store.
$1.00   I thought what the heck and tried it.
I liked it so much I went and bought the store out of them ;D

Arcadiac:

Wouldn't wire without 'em.  got mine for $1 also at Dollar Tree or Deal$.  ARCADIAC!

Tailgunner:

I tend to use manual strippers most often and save the automatic type for rush jobs/non critical applications. Though the automatic strippers are faster and more efficient, I can do better by hand. Concidering where my wiring harnesses end up, it's worth the extra effort.
