Does it work down to 30 gage wire?

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.

A great idea! I have been manually gauging length and setting wire diameter for years.
