I bought one of these this week and I highly recommend it for quality and price.

The following video raises an interesting comparison between the Harbor Freight and the Snap On models.

I got something similar, much older pair, but those look pretty good.

I like my simple wire stripper:

But your Harbor Freight one looks pretty nice. Now, I'm going to have to stop at my local store and pick one up. Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I have a bunch of wire strippers, Klein, Greenlee I have round cord strippers romex strippers one other pair of automatic strippers but this is the only pistol grip type I have. I think they are going to be awesome for working with electronics, I tried them on 24awg stranded and it was perfect I didn't lose a hair.

I have a set of these as far as automatic strippers go. But mine are in the garage as I only use these for automotive wiring, or power cables on robotics.





I also have a set of these in the garage and shop, though mine are Craftsman brand.





In my workshop I have several of this type of strippers, except they're red handled and cheaper brands. One set is fixed at 30 gauge wire for wire-wrapping. One is set for 22 gauge for breadboard wire, and one isn't set specifically.
