Looking for wire strippers

[beddhist]

Visited two electrical supply stores today, one a very big one in Suphanburi and asked for this tool. Mai mee.

 

A quick search on Lazada turns up a bewildering array. I have never used one, apart from something similar to this: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/total-6-tht25616-wire-stripper-i111898955-s114505230.html?spm=a2o4m.searchlist.list.39.2e391167YjSGZt&search=1

 

Can the experts please help me identify a good one to buy? I will be wiring two houses shortly. I think my builder will be wiring up the big mains, so I will be dealing with all the lights, sockets, etc. I have done this before, in NZ, but had to use knife and side cutters back then.

 

I don't mind spending a bit more to get something that works and lasts.

 

Thanks in advance,

Peter.

I always use these, very easy to use.

Then I have a network crimping tool for network cables.

Zeers Rangsit just up the road from Don Muang International carries an assortment of professional wire strippers.

That kind, if you are skilled and you get a good quality one certainly works. However if you are doing a lot and I think you are than a better idea is this

 

 

Or this

 

they will make life much easier

Also useful is a crimping tool for bootlace terminals

Thank you for the useful tips, folks. I'm on my way to ordering one.
