Ok, it's kinda dumb question but what tool would you use to strip a 30 awg wires? I've tried almost every wire stripping tools there is but it just cuts the wire instead of stripping. So far, using my teeth is the most efficient way to go about it. Any other suggestions will greatly appreciated.

thanks for the reply. I bought the "all size" wire stripper and it just cuts it even when i don't apply pressure. there's got to be a tool out there somewhere that could do this. If you dont mind me asking, what do u use? any picture would help.

just so you know, i can't vouch for all wires being able to take the heat. what i can vouch for, though, is: telephone wires, home theater component wires, large and small gauge stereo wiring, general-use small gauge wires (such as what's found in cars), most electrical cables, and the weedeater line with wire inserted in plastic :-P lol.
