What gauge range should I look for?

Reviewer consensus

Most general-purpose strippers cover roughly 10–22 AWG, which handles household Romex (12/2, 14/2) down to thermostat and low-voltage wire. If you work with heavier service wire (6–8 AWG) you'll want a dedicated heavier tool, and if you work with very fine electronics wire (24–32 AWG) a self-adjusting model with fine-wire jaws is usually recommended.
