At most other places on the Internet "Stripper Shootout" would have an entirely different meaning. 
Here it is just a light blog providing members with an opportunity to post a picture of their favorite "strippers" and explain why they like them.
Below is a video of some "strippers" I have access to and a demonstration of the limits of my acting abilities .... As usual the cat steals the show....
For some reason I don't use the complex strippers I have. Maybe it is because they need to be adjusted and tested with every new wire size. That is a lot of overhead just to strip a wire. Maybe it is partly that they require a lot more physical effort to compress springs and overcome friction than is needed purely to strip insulation. This makes it difficult to feel exactly how much force is applied to squeezing the wire, cutting the insulation and pulling insulation free, and gaging the depth of cut, all of which can be important.
It is also curious to me that I don't remember where I got some of these strippers since I can remember exactly where I got virtually every other tool I own.
If you have a favorite set of strippers, feel free to post a picture or a comment below.
