Hi Piclisters,

I need some device that will let me strip the ends off of thin (AWG 
26-30) stranded wires (for DF13 connectors). I'm getting inconsistent 
results with manual wire strippers and wouldn't mind spending a few 
bucks to get something a bit more automated. Life's too short to keep 
hand-stripping wires.
And would be nice if it would do up to say 18 AWG also.
I found ones like these ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6BU83IxHjU ) 
on Aliexpress, but they're in the US $900 range.
Any other in-between options at a lower cost, say US$200-$300 that would 
give me decent results?

Thanks,
-Neil
