re: #506
might I add that it's a really crappy wire stripper. I have one. I hate it.

The combination stripper/guage is only intended to remove the outer insulation from the cable. It works very well, quickly, and easily, for its designed purpose, with typical two-plus-ground cable. It's specifically designed *not* to harm the insulation on the individual wires. The blade portion cuts along the middle of the cable, near the ground wire, which does not have its own insulation like the black and white wire do. You use this to quickly get the outer insulation out of the way so that you can route the individual wires to where they need to go (e.g., to opposite sides of a switch, different portions of a junction box, or cetera). A different stripper tool, of the more commonly recognized type, would then be used to strip shorter bits of insulation off the ends of the individual wires.
