Another special pick, just for you, from Ladyada!
NEW PRODUCT – Hakko Professsional Quality 20-30 AWG Wire Strippers. These are the finest wire strippers we have used, and if you have to do a lot of wiring, you will agree! They have soft rounded grips – very comfortable to use, and precision ground notches that do a perfect job every time. No more yanking or twisting to strip wires cleanly and quickly.
Make a robot friend with Adafruit’s CRICKIT – A Creative Robotics & Interactive Construction Kit. It’s an add-on to our popular Circuit Playground Express, FEATHER and other platforms to make and program robots with CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. Start controlling motors, servos, solenoids. You also get signal pins, capacitive touch sensors, a NeoPixel driver and amplified speaker output. It complements & extends your boards so you can still use all the goodies on the microcontroller, now you have a robotics playground as well.

I hope to heck these are better than the janky 30ga strippers SparkFun sells — with as much pressure as it takes to squeeze the spring, the 30ga can be squeezed to 35ga. The Xcelite flush cutters I bought are definitely top notch, so I can only assume these strippers are just as sweet.
@jason – thanks! we only stock the best, hand selected and tested by ladyada – we spent a long time trying out all of the tools and we like these the best!
Jason, these are definitely the awesomest – and i own a half dozen different brands!
Life is to short to go around building stuff with crappy tools. The best advice I ever got was to always buy the best tools you can afford, and if you can’t afford them, then save your pennies until you can.
I have a garage full of tools that are older than many of the makers who visit here.
