Technically wire strippers aren’t supposed to cut all they way through the insulation. Meant to cut almost all the way through without nicking the wire.

Not as critical with regular electrical work but, for all of the mil-spec testing and quals I’ve ever had to go through, we’d have been failed for nicked wire. Those instructors were brutal, examine work under magnification. You learn to judge by feel.

Never used Strap-On for strippers. I’m a devout follower of the Church of Knipex.
