I have this one too but it's a red and black painted version. The jaws don't clamp on the wire very well and it causes them to pull through as the insulation-grabbing part starts to pull. I just pinch the jaws closed harder with my other hand. This thing works quite well aside from that issue. Great to do 4 wires at a time, too! --- Quote from: Ginsu Victim on June 11, 2009, 11:48:38 am ---For thin wire, the QuikStrip has worked great. I love this tool.

There's also a version that has the jaw rotated so it looks more like pliers. Anyway, that's the kind I have and it works great. These don't always get a good grip on the insulation and can slip instead of stripping. If you have that happen, simply hold the jaw closed a bit and it should get things going. |

The instructions tell you if it slips, pull the wiring downward and it works fine. That's what I do when I have to and have no issues. |
