Breadboard Jumper Wires
aeberbach:
I bought the Knipex 12-62-180 strippers shown in that YouTube video. They're good!

I make my own out of single core insulated wire from a 25m reel I got a long time ago. I keep them in zip bags marked with the number of gaps they span. This works well for me.

Unfortunately, the Amazon kit uses 24 gauge wire, which may be a bit loose in some breadboards.

Yet another reason I bought a couple old sets. Some use fewer colors to lower cost, but some sets use all the colors from brown to white, but mix them up. As I said above, I'd probably get used to it, but the resistor colors are already burned into my brain.

LAN cable wire works great as breadboard jumping wires:
