For small wire, I use a cheap, small soldering iron with a chisel tip, one that dedicated to this purpose and other non-soldering tasks. Just burn a groove most of the way around and pull the insulation bit off. It's quick, and you won't nick the metal or remove any strands from stranded wire. Not for teflon though. Mike |

We use these paladin strippers. I have actually found that i like the older design better but for most sane people these new ones would be more than fine. Ours have hundreds of thousands of stripping operations on them and we have only had one out of 5 fail in 25 years. http://www.amazon.com/Paladin-1113-Stripax-Stripper-Cutter/dp/B0006BHCFO |

Well it's not perfect. I did nick the wire once (it's visible on the photo) in 18 strips: http://download.nicksoft.info/pics/stripped.jpg but it does the job. There were no cut strands. |

Hey, interestingly, the wirestripper from calexanian, looks like a rebranded Weidmüller Stripax. But the old design. Not so long ago, they decided for a new design. The old one (below) i used daily for more than 6 years. And its still pretty good. The new one is a little bit wider and is better in the hand. Both are rated for 0,08 - 10 mm² |

In the U.S. they were under the name paladin. Same strippers. Looked at them all today. The newest ones say stripax. |
