Ratings & reviews
The gold standard for wire strippers! I've used cheap manual strippers for years and the PreciStrip16 makes them all feel like toys. It handles everything from fine 0.08mm² signal wires up to 16mm² without any adjustment fiddling, and the automatic cut depth regulation means I've never once nicked a conductor. Grabbed it for a full boat rewiring job and it saved me hours. Pricey compared to basic strippers, but this is a buy-once-cry-once tool.
