  • Does anyone have a recommendation for a set of wire strippers?

    DIY, so they'll only get infrequent use / don't need Snap On levels of kit. But I'd like something that will work well for everything and won't need replacing.

    Cheers

  • What wires are you stripping?
    I’d probably go for a set of the automatic ones tbh. Learning the knack of using cutters/pliers is better IMO, but for occasional bits an automatic pair will make the job a lot more straightforward.

    It's not better, it's just faster.

    After the years of learning!

    Probably 2.5mm twin and earth and 2.5 or 1.5mm 3 core cable.

    I've always used a sharp knife plus pliers or a leatherman or my hands. But TBH I find it a bit of a faff, usually results in stripping too much cable and the cutting section on my pliers isn't that great.

    So all in all an automatic set appealed as I might be doing a reasonable amount sometime soon. Albeit only for that one sesh.
