Searching through the archives, the comment made was that the best  

stripper is the Ideal 45-187, which naturally is discontinued.   

Looking through their catalog shows a wide variety of apparently  

almost identical strippers.



The 45-177 seems quite similar, but is missing the short stop latch  

and wire stop.  How useful are those features ?  Should I be looking  

for a 45-187 in the marketplace anyway ?



Non of the the strippers seem to handle the range of wire that is used  

in aircraft.  Do I need to buy two strippers to handle 10-14 gauge and  

another for 16-26, or can I just swap blades (how much of a pain is  

that ??) ?



What about the "Lite" strippers, smaller and easier to squeeze sounds  

great.  What is the downside ?



Additionally, I was unable to find any recommendations for Molex  

0.062" contacts.  How about the Sargent 3133-CT ?



Thanks !

I use Ideal 45-097:

The wire stop can be handy for multiple strips you want of the same length,

it's quickly removable, and only $7:

The 45-097 uses replaceable dies which come in different wire sizes.



Not sure what you mean by 'recommendations for Molex 0.062" contacts'.  I

bought a collection of Molex connectors recently at Frys.

   No, the 177 is fine. See:



http://www.aeroelectric.com/Mfgr_Data/Tools/Ideal_Stripmaster/stripmaster.pdf



   I've had stops on my strippers over the years . . . took 'em

   of and pitched 'em. Not particularly useful at least to me.

   You DON'T want to disassemble these for the purpose

   of stripping a few large wires. Get the 45-177. Review



http://www.aeroelectric.com/articles/strippers/strippers.html



   and do something else for the very few numbers of larger

   wires you need to strip.

   Molex catalogs cite a low-cost tool HT



   B&C offers an open-barrel crimp tool BCT-1 thata

   will install the .062, .093 and similar pins from

   all suppliers of the open-barrel pin product.



   See:

http://www.aeroelectric.com/articles/matenlok/matenlok.html



   Don't buy a 45-177 yet. I'm negotiating for a bucket

   full of industrial surplus tools that includes a

   quantity of 4-quadrant crimp tools and Idea strippers

   with Tefzel dies in them. They will be offered from

   my website for a whole lot less than new.

   Correct. Thanks!  I have to be careful when testing links while

   crafting the html in my desktop, windows doesn't care about

   capitalization but Unix on the server does. Got the target

   url and two links on the server to agree but forgot to go

   back and correct the list-server posting.
