I needed some razor blades and a chainsaw sharpener, so with those two things obtained, I had a cool $3 to spend to stay in budget. Nothing really jumped out at me until I saw some automatic wire strippers on sale for $1.79. I never have had a pair, and at this price I couldn't go wrong.
Knowing what I paid for them, I wasn't expecting much. The first test was on some 22 gauge stranded wire. Worked great. Second test was much tougher -- some 20 or 22 gauge tefzel from the chopped wire harness that my avionics came from. WORKED GREAT. Next test was shielded tefzel. Worked great too!
Now I don't expect these to last very long cutting tefzel...I bought them to toss in my electrical toolbox for other jobs. But who knows, as long as it works, I might hold off spending the $40 on the ideal StripMaster!
