Default Re: Decent wire strippers

I have used Hellerman H31/5's for at least the last twenty years at work and home and they are brilliant. They look like a pair of shears with graded notches along the jaws. There are two size ranges though. The smaller size is more suited to electronics work. I think I may have bought them from RS. They have stood the test of time mechanically and are quick and large enough not to cause fatigue if stripping a lot of insulation. I have tried most of the other gadgets for this task during my career but these have come out tops, for me at least.
