wire stripping

the stripper i used was like this one from radioshack. its total crap. i wasnt using it for anything like 4gauge wire or anything, nothing larger than 16 if memory serves. like bp_viper says, they just stretch the insulation. after looking at the one from parts express shown above, it does look like that is a bit better quality, also im assuming that if they made the blade actually shap enough to cut insulation the radioshack one would work descently.
