If you’ve got a lot of wire-stripping to do, you may want to try out an automatic stripper/cutter! They are fantastic for stripping and cutting stranded and solid-core 24 or thicker AWG wires and ribbon cables. The tool has both metric (up to ~20mm) and imperial (up to 0.75″) measurements on either side, so you get all the precision with the secondary blade below the stripper.
Simply slip the wire into the jaws, then squeeze the handle to get perfect stripped wires every time, with exactly the right length. No more yanking or twisting to strip wires cleanly and quickly!
Can strip stranded or solid core wire from 24 AWG up to 10 AWG
Can be dialed for 2 ~ 20mm (0.08″ to 0.8″) stripped length

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, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, 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. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
