Wire stripper

I’ve never before so appreciated a tool.

I did some electronics as a kid; I stripped wires with a scissors or a penknife. I don’t think I ever managed to do it in one go without losing some wire in the process.

I’m building Ben Eater’s 6502 kit which comes with pre-stripped wires, but he didn’t have a black wire of the right length and being an obsessive sort I ordered some 22 AWG wire, a cutter, a stripper and a pliers (as recommended for his 8-bit CPU project which I will be building next.)

I just snipped and stripped my little piece of black wire and I am as happy as Eeyore on his birthday, putting his burst balloon into his empty honey jar and taking it back out again.
