But for the best stripping, I use a Micro-Strip. It used to be made
by Augut and retail for $20, but now is sold under the Tyco brand.
They do show up on eBay at NOS discounts; I just picked on up item
280472770397--for $19.95. At DigiKey, you can expect to pay about
$75.
It's pretty much impossible to nick a wire with one of these, so
they've found renewed interest as fiber optic strippers.

Is something like an OK ST-500 a decent tool for around
$33?
Every wire wrap too I've ever used has one built in. It's either a
hole in the center of the tool with a blade, or a little removable
tool that hides under the rotating cap of the tool.
