I'll second that.  These are also the cheapest strippers you'll find as well
at about $5-10.

Just be sure to take a scrap of wire and strip a few inches off, strip the
individual wires, inspect for nicks, cut, and repeat.  I'll usually take 6
feet of wire and do this in about 4" pieces till it's down to nothing.  By
then you should have gotten a feel for it.
