I've got a pair of those, they're not bad but they don't quite open wide enough for most mains flex. I've always wondered how much better Knipex strippers are but given the price I doubt I'll be finding out any time soon.

Mine too. It’s a bit of a squeeze but it fits and strips

A mad welshman that lives in a mansion sent me some RS wire strippers, brilliant bit of kit. https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/wire-strippers/0613044/

I've worn out a couple of those over the years only downside I found was they won't strip some brands of tri-rated cable cleanly.

in the 35 years I have been in the electrical industry, I have found nothing to beat this type, and I was a panel wireman for may years, and still have the original pair.

Have a pair of these and they're great. Seems like quite a complex mechanism but work so nicely

i use those :

And for teflon coated wires i use a thermal wire stipper, "cuts" the insulation but does not cut any strands at all.
