If i'm doing machine build i use t-strippers because they do a better job for terminal strips and you have a 1000 plus termanations to make and only use a screwdiver and stripper once everything is mounted .For construction i use side cutters,needle nose or diagnal cutters.Strippers are a one use tool and either i lose them or can't find them fast enough.The trick is not to cut the insulation but to crease it and pull it apart.I never nic the wire that way.
