In my experience, that is the best one i've ever used.  I didn't actually buy it from there... i bought it from this place called JK Electronics down here in southern california.  But that wire stripper is awesome!  It strips wires with ease, and allows you to peel back the wire's insulation without cutting it (i.e. doing what mikeshonda750 was talking about... so you can make a joint with another wire without having to cut that wire).  Out of all the wire strippers I've tried it probably does the job the fastest and cleanest.

I agree, I also own one and the one offered by crutchfield

I second that that is one of the best wire strippers, unfortunely I lost mines, left it in a car. I had bought a similar one from radio shack just becase i was already there it has a better handle that dosnt slip unlike the GB one, but the Radio Shack one sucks A$$ . The cheapy GB that i got from kragen's worked better than anything else I've used.

I got a "Kronus" stripper at RatShack that's very similar to the G-B. It has a sliding guide to measure how much you're stripping off. Doesn't crimp worth a flip.

I gave my son one for his birthday last week so he'll quit borrowing mine. I felt it was my duty to buy him a stripper for his 16th birthday. I'm just that kind of guy.

talk to you local snap-on dealer they have ones that dont break. 

p.s. use what you like, I personally hate auto ones

haha... how did you go through 3 pairs?  Did they break under heavy use?

I like the smaller wire strippers. I have a Klein one which works great! I also, have a Snap on one which works pretty good too. I dont like the auto ones either.
