I quite liked these until they broke.
No faffing around trying to line up conductors.

The Quickwire ones work a treat on 1 - 2.5mm cables but after a year mine are starting to slip whilst stripping. Saves a lot of time esp when you are doing lots of ends consecutively..That looks like a good price for the Strippers and I've been meaning to give the Quickwire jobbies a bash anyway.
The CK wire strippers are about ÂŁ14 from Toolstation at the moment so I might just get both and see how they go.
I'm happy enough with the knife I have at the mo I use the Hultafors ELK and it's the dogs dangly bits.
I've tried all sorts of knives over the years and not got on with most of them but this one I can't do without.
Thanks for the replies Gents.

I've had a pair like that for many many years, but an "unbranded copy" - so good the manufacturer didn't put their name on them IIRC I bought them from Halfrauds.The CK wire strippers are about ÂŁ14 from Toolstation at the moment ...
In the end I bought the Wiha ones Richy recommended and I have to say they are the dogs danglies.
My hands are eternally grateful Richy.
That's good marketing for you.
I finally killed this years CK auto strippers, I think I mentioned somewhere else, after an afternoon of really tough 4mm LSF T&E.
So I purchased a pair of Klein ones, ÂŁ32 off Amazon.
They are a superior product.
For one, the grip is rubberised and much more comfy in the hand.
The wire cutter is worth having.
The depth of strip gauge is metal, although I tend to remove them.
They did seem to perform better on the stretchy insulation on this crappy LSF. This could be because the CK ones were on their way out though.
In short, they are superior in build quality and seem to perform at least as well.
Will have to see if the last.
