While great in theory, this turned out to be a finicky and unreliable device.
Unless you're stripping REALLY thin, like wire-wrap-wire AWG30-ish thin wires, then nope.
It struggles even with the wire of those ubiquitous flat rainbow ribbon cables (AWG24 or so), just sliding and scraping over the insulation, unable to dig in.
As it works well for super-thin wires, it will probably stay in the toolbox, but it is by no means a replacement for simple old-fashioned everyday use strippers (as I had hoped) and not a satisfying purchase at all.
Weicon precision wire stripper S
Details
The Weicon Precision Wire Stripper S is a very compact, handheld wire stripper designed for small gauge wires. This stripper features an infinitely variable stripping range between 0.16 mm and 0.8 mm. The scanning system on the wire stripper automatically detects the conductor diameter and adjusts its settings accordingly. The required stripping length of the exposed conductor can be set between 5 and 45 mm.
If you are looking for a ESD safe equivalent of this wire stripper, take a look at this product.

How many years I have been struggling with stripping real small diameter wires. With a few moves, this little stripper will remove the insulation of the wire without hurting the conductor, I tested it over and over again, not a single strand of wire was ever nicked!
