It seems they are a bunch of models that are made by many brands, but the quality varies, so a same looking model do not stands for same performance. I have just buy this 55€ here: CLICK! The KNIPEX 1242195. There is a good looking animation of how it works here: CLICK! |

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 --- End quote --- Yeah we use these too (the old style), and average about 4000 strips per month. My only complaint would be that the orange plastic wire end stop wears away with extended use. So instead of a nice straight 90 degree face you end up a sloping face which has been eroded by the jagged ends of the copper wire after prolonged use, resulting is a variable length strip depending on the angle of the wire insertion before the jaws closed. Although I have tried. you can't get spare end stops for replacement. That said they do work very well. |

+1 to the KNIPEX 1242195, kinda expensive, but very very nice for small wires. |

They are also Incredibly lightweight and very light force to actuate. |
