A good price for a very handy tool..... you don't know you need one until you actually need one.
Make stripping various sizes of wires, much easier. I recently bought what looks like a similar one from ScrewFix and it cost about £12. This one also comes with an accessories pack.

Had a thing last year about replacing all my old and lost tools and got a bit carried away buying ONLY good quality pliers screwdrivers hammers etc and remember - I don't DO DIY - and I like the look of these, for a good price. I've found LIDL tools etc to be surprisingly high quality too. Found out that their socket set I bought at the time was made in Germany too. Surely you'd think they'd trumpet that ?
Especially if the other ends plugged in ! X)
Mind you, the most important thing is to use good quality terminals - the metal inside should have a shaped shoulder - larger to grip the insulation and smaller to grip the wire. Cheap ones usually rely on the plastic to grip the insulation, which it often doesn't. Sadly, when buying mail order it's almost impossible to check which you're getting.

Yeah. Like the time I was (badly) hard-wiring a second point for my landline. Who knew the wires had 50 volts in them? My tongue was numb for hours.
Great for breadboards with solid core wire. Works everytime.
