Im stripping almost 5000 pieces of wire a week.....you get used to it haha

Man, if I stripped that much wire, I'd buy prestripped wire to specific lengths.  It costs more, but would save a ton of time.

Assuming, of course that these are repetitive builds and not one-offs.

Ya its commercial biuld. My grip on my right hand can break bones from using this thing so much haha

Yeah, I bet.  That's a lot of repetitive stress.

I've been using these for a couple weeks and they are really, really nice. Takes a bit of practice to get good with them, but I highly recommend.

I got a pair as well.  The downside is they don't work well my teflon coated wire.

Is the action of yours a little stiff? I'm kind of frustrated with mine, and I'm not sure if its just me or the device itself - its not very smooth.

I keep getting half cut inner wire cores, or very long strings when I only wanted a short strip...

I'm having the same problem. Maybe it's just a matter of practice.

You get a feel for it after a bit. The trick I found is speed. Line it up straight and click hard and fast.

looks like the stripper end will bite the hell out of your palm while cutting wire.
I mod cheap guitars because my local music store said not to.

Might have to give these a shot, I'm using a box cutter right now.

Nah, not all messy like you probably imagined...   I roll the wire around one time on the blade with a little pressure then the insulation slides right off.     

Once you get the feel for it you can strip any gauge wire pretty quickly.
