I use my teeth.
My wife HATES it when I do that, but that's half the fun.
I have a much better feel with my teeth, especially as the wires get thinner.

I watched the commercial the other day and they look like they work REALLY REALLY well. I was just wondering if they only work once and then suck or if they really are good. Anyone have them? Do they work well?

I bought a very similar product (different brand and about half the price).

They work well.

Two comments -

They will occasionally cut one or two strands when using very finely stranded wire.

They are not extremely accurate length-wise if say you want to have exactly 1/4-inch of bare wire showing.  They tend to pull the insulation off the wire, so the stripped section of wire ends up shorter than requested.

I would recommend them though.

I got mine at a model train show where a guy had a demo booth and you could test them out.

They look like they might work. But the ones I have been working with were left at our house by a telephone installer in 1975. And not once have they not worked.
