Step 5Hack your Strippers
iImage Information

I found a small yellow wire stripper at the local electronic depot that seemed difficult to operate and more or less useless, except for its size. This wire stripper is not to be used as your every day stripper, but in a pinch, it will work wonders. If there were ever a place to store such a wire stripper, a small form factor, emergency use soldering kit is it.
This modification is simple. Cut off as much of the stripper as possible leaving only the mouth section of the tool with the scalloped top side and razor bottom side.
