Are Auto-Adjusting Wire Stripping Tools For You?
I have a very similar one from the 1980's
It does have gauge specific half circle stripper sections but after stripping- it pushes the stripper jaw back into the wire, bending the newly exposed section if solid, or fraying it if stranded.
So, put me down as "no".
For ten bucks I prefer these-
Back when I was an electrician's apprentice I actually preferred standard straight wire cutters. If you use them enough you can feel when you are through the insulation without nicking the conductor, and it's one less tool to carry.
