I am looking for reccomendations of a good wire stripper, easy to use (preferabley less than £20 incl. postage in the UK), needs to be able to cut teflon and to have fixed values covering 22, 24 and 28 AWG. I`ll be using it on solid copper or silver, single core teflon coated wire.
no fumes is a neccesity so thermal wire strippers are something I want to avoid.

--the adventure-- After 13 days receiving nothing I sent in a reminder/prodding email using the contact form on their site. Only two days after and a phone call came saying the order was on its way and was coming by courier. The wire strippers arrived this afternoon. While I ordered the Ideal T7 22-30awg wire stripper the one that actually arrived is a Ripley Miller 921-co www.ripley-tools.com/tools.php?tool=721_821_921&category=Electrical . The 921 pdf is at www.ripley-tools.com/PDF/Miller/721_821_921.pdf . --the result-- The important part however is that stripping the teflon jacket from neotech 22awg solid core copper wire is now a breeze using the 22awg gap: 3 to 4 closings and wire rotation = less than 20 seconds taken per wire, the sleeve slides off and the underlying metal remains unmarked. Easy to use, low cost, covers the range 20awg-30awg (0.25-0.80mm). The Ripley Miller 921-co has no problem with my teflon coated wire. I now have a finished, four wire neotech 22awg UPOCC copper, litz braided xlr interconnect burning in
