This was the sort of thing - Thanks for the idea Nick205 but I am going to keep them both - if I sell a pair I just know I'll misplace the other one
Can anyone suggest a decent yet cheap set of automatic wire strippers? I need to strip bits of wire mid loom to splice some other wires in and solder.
Its on a car injection loom
Any pointers or links?

Knippex. Expensive but you'll only ever buy them once.
I have two of them - but - not from the same source and the two cost very much less than the one. Why two? Put one down and couldn't find it, bought another and it turned up before the second one arrived - doh!

Not automatic, but wire strippers that you can set the gap and are small are useful for working in confined spaces; such as by Elliot Lucas (I have
some new old stock ones which were UK made):

Picador German made items: https://vintagetoolshop.com/products/6-vintage-picador-wire-strippers-w-insulated-grips-34380 or by CK:

The key point that’s been missed is “mid loom” you can’t use those strippers as they pull the excess off the end of wires, mid loom means the excess has nowhere to go.
