Spent $180 on a pair of Knipex wire strippers and they paid for themselves in a week

I was burning through the cheap blue handled strippers from the hardware store every few months. Finally dropped $180 on the Knipex auto strippers last month after my third pair broke mid job. First week I had them I did a 400 amp service change and stripped every wire without a single nick. The time savings alone made them worth it. Anyone else find one tool that just made you wonder why you waited so long?

@keithbutler I was just reading about some new ones that came out actually. Apparently they finally fixed the hinge issue that everyone kept complaining about. Might be worth looking into.
