I'll second Tom's recommendation. I've had a set like those shown in the links below for 20+ years now. There are other types that are "adjustable" and cheaper because one tool covers everything but they require setting something for each size of wire. Slow and not as clean and easy as the plier type, IMHO.
Also, with the plier type you don't really need to know the wire size. Just pick up the ones that seem right and, with the jaws closed, put the insulated wire behind the openings. You'll quickly see which one would allow the wire through but not the insulation. That's the one to use!

Not automatic, but excellent: #30-#20 AWG http://www.hakkousa.com/CHPproducts.asp?PID=CSP-30-1&Page=1 #26-#16 AWG http://www.hakkousa.com/CHPproducts.asp?PID=CSP-30-7&Page=1 #20-#10 AWG http://www.hakkousa.com/CHPproducts.asp?PID=CSP-30-2&Page=1 May be available at a (slightly) lower price from vendors such as www.kiesub.com, but no guarantees. 73, Tom Hammond N0SS _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
