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.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
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.
