I agree that some stranded wire is worth the effort and some is not. I am in the A/C business and find some wire is say 18 Ga. with a thin insulation and others have a very thick insulation yet same wire size.
I will test a wire if it strips easy it gets stripped. If it gives me a hard time it goes in the can. When I clean the wire from the units I try to leave the wire as long as possible, making it faster and easier to strip!
