Automatic Wire Strippers are great gifts!

ntewinkel

Happy Holidays Everyone!

If you're a few weeks behind like I am, here is a great belated gift for anyone working with electronics: automatic wire strippers.

What makes them great is that they just happily do the job of stripping the insulation off the wire without us having to know the size of the wire - it magically just knows!

These Jokari T20050 (Newark part number33P8621) ones are really nice:

Hopefully SecretSanta 2021 will help bring these to someone who can really put them to good use!

Seasons Greetings and Happy New Year!

  • It would be nice to see an in depth study on wire stripping tools - they are important. I have a bunch of types and I have used a bunch at work and I almost always end up using the cheapest ones I have (with a set of needle nose pliers to hold the wire). It seems I am often stripping in tight quarters where a big fancy stripper can't fit, or there isn't enough wire for the big stripper to grip, or the fancy stripper is a bit out of calibration for the type of wire I am stripping, or it simply doesn't work as well as the cheap strippers. How can a semi-automated stripper do a cable where only only a very short section of wire extends out of the cable (because the backshell needs to grip the bigger cable jacket). If someone has found a really good solution that works for 22 gage through 32 gage in tight locations, I would be interested in seeing a review.

    Here is a great tip for a future road test, which probably should not be sponsored by a single company.
