I have wasted time and money on shiney gimmicks. I've made or copied stripping tools and tried a couple varieties of the quick change razor knives, I still reach for the Stanley No. 199. The fixed blade just works!

box cutter knife
How big of wire you stripping? The rolling cutting wheel type works good if the wire is 12 gage or bigger.
I process all # 1 wire. I tried the strip tech roller wheel, the Chinese roller wheel, and made a few. All 4 were manual.
I like this Milwaukee box knife best so far. Easy open & lose. Ergonomic.

I like my Paladin Stripax Pro 6. When installing my 7.1 speakers, they did not damage one fine wire. It may also be that I used good speaker wire. It was 14 ga. with 105 strands.
We are talking stripping long lengths of wire and not just the ends for a stereo system.Quote:

I use a brake/fuel line flaring tool with a blade sandwiched in it mounted in my vice

When I do tho, it's a box cutter, or blade, etc.
