I bought a pair of cheap wire strippers to see how good/bad they were.



They appear to be a far east clone of the Ideal Stripmaster, and the  

mounting is such that the Ideal blades would fit.



They turned out to be as cheap as they could be made, but still work.   

I had to take them apart to bend a spring to make them open in the  

correct sequence so the wire doesn't get caught after stripping.



I would not recommend them for someone doing a lot of wiring - say an  

airplane  but they are better than the kind that has a single flat  

blade that just rips the insulation.



The die handles 8, 10, 12, 14, 18 gauge wire, so it is missing sizes  

commonly used for aircraft.



I bought them from Princess Auto (Canadian equivalent of Harbor  

Freight) for $4.99.  They are not a regularly stocked item, so when  

they are gone, they are gone.  My local store had 17 pairs in stock  

after being advertised starting on June 25th.  The product number is  

8276172.
