Yes I&rsquo;ve used my teeth, which I don&rsquo;t recommend.</p> <p>I picked <a href="https://www.allelectronics.com/item/ws-150/wire-cutter/stripper-spring-return/1.html">this one</a> up for $7.20 at All Electronics and quickly set the screw for the 22 gauge wire I&rsquo;m working with.</p> <p>It really works. It can even strip the <a href="https://www.stewmac.com/electronics/components-and-parts/wires/single-coil-hookup-wires---12-inches/">cloth wire</a> I bought from StewMac.</p> <p>This makes working with wire so much easier. The comments at All Electronics say the tool hard to adjust, but I had no trouble loosening the screw with a flat-head screwdriver and setting it. And at around $7, if if ever loses its sharpness, I won&rsquo;t hesitate to get a new one.</p>
