These are the ones i have and they have stayed in the bottom of the toolbag since i bought them:

I have the CK automatic ones and love them. Don't use them for twin but they save me loads of time when making up flex leads for downlights etc.

I do have a pair of these Knipex in my bag that have never been used:

Must admit, although I have a set the only time I ever use them is if I need to strip a cable inside a panel where you have limited access

ck croppers save me loads of time, especially on singles. I use nws side cutters for twin n earth for board changes, as they cut the outer sheath clean and straight.

Had automatic wire strippers, never used and gave them away.

I use a pair of these as well and find them very easy to use, especially in tight spaces. Not so good on 4 or 6mm cable though as it is a bit of a faf to get the cable into the jaws so revert to snips in those cases.
