    i like that. geeks here need to rank according to the types of wire strippers they have.

    30 gauge strippers, you're a digital geek, and you only care about having enough voltage for a logic 1.
    12 gauge strippers, you're a power person, and you worry about power supply current handling.
    coax stripper, you're a ham radio geek, and you know what RF is.

    if you don't have wire strippers, well then you're just a code geek, which i wouldn't trust with a hot iron on any day of the week.

    don't know what a wire stripper is...... get off this site.

    Of course I know what a wire stripper is!
    We had many of them in the 00s. They beat top-less strippers for us old fogs.
    Sadly, our company can't afford them anymore.
    Now, get off my lawn.

    What if you have all 3 of those, plus a thermal tweezer stripper for working with Teflon or Kapton insulated wire?

    10-18 GA for electrical work.
    16-22 GA for electronics.
    18-24 GA specialty blades for Teflon/etc.
    26, 28, and 30 GA for wire wrap (and the Gardner-Denver wire wrap gun, of course.)
    Several cheap strippers in various tool bags and toolboxes, just so I have one handy.

    And I write code, too. So what does that make me? No, wait, don't answer that.
