long reach automatic wire strippers?

[dscheidt]

I have a wire stripper like this
It works great, but I needed to strip some wires I can't reach with it. or rather, I can reach them, but not reach and manipulate the tool at the same time. Does anyone make a long reach version of these things. or even with a straigh handles, not a pistol grip?

Knipex 12 42 195 come to mind.

Question that remains is if the other dimensions of this tool fit your situation.


Kind regards,

Best I can do right now to give you an actual idea of size:

And if it doesn’t have to be automatic, you can go old school & slim with one of these:

Those are probably the best bet for this. I like automatic wire stripers for automotive work, because a lot of the wires are more heavily insulated than you'd think, and fiddling with a stripper setting is a pain. Today, it would have been easier and faster (it took me 3 hours to strip two wires and attach the replacement pigtail, because it was all lie on the engine and reach behind it, just about as far as my arms could reach, and I often had to choose between seeing what I wanted to work on, and being able to touch it.)

What about the right angle manual ones from snappy or otc? for those really tricky ones?
