Great quality, well worth the money
Very high quality strippers! I have never been let down by Hakko's hand tools. I own these wire strippers as well as Hakko nose pliers and wire cutters. The hand grips are very comfortable, and opening and closing the strippers is extremely smooth. I have had no trouble at all with stripping small gauge wires. The grips are non-slip so you don't have to ever worry about them slipping out of your hands. I use this for my electronics hobby so I'm primarily stripping gauges that are around 24AWG. I've included a video of me stripping a 30AWG stranded wire. These strip every gauge its rated for just fine. It strips very cleanly with no marring of the core wire(s). I know there are a few reviews complaining about having troubles with thin wires, but I honestly do not know how they could be having any troubles at all. I'm tempted to think it could be user error. These have worked flawlessly for me so far.Also, my favorite feature is the ability to keep these strippers half-open. Using the metal stopper, you can let them open up all the way, only half way, or stay completely closed. Keeping the strippers from opening up fully is very useful because when you're stripping thin wires, there's never a need to open them up completely (unless you're going to start using the wire cutters in back). This extra movement to open and close just increases the work your hands end up doing since you really only need to open them very slightly--just enough to get the wires into place. This feature makes stripping wires even more pleasurable!

5.0 out of 5 stars Worked well for stripping 26 AWG silicone wire
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2023
I did a few PicoBoot GameCube mods and had to get some wire and wire strippers (I usually solder boards, not wires). These worked quite well for me. I lined up my wire with the indent labeled with the right size, stuck a bit through, squeezed, and pulled. I'm not an expert on wire strippers, but these feel high quality and easy to use. They will probably last me a lifetime unless I lose them.
