Wasted $400 on a fancy wiring tool I barely use now

I bought that expensive automatic wire stripper from the trade show in Phoenix last year. Thought it would save me tons of time on harness builds at the hangar. After three tries it kept nicking the shielding on 22 gauge wire, so now it just sits in my box. Anyone else drop cash on a tool that ended up being more trouble than it was worth?

Bought one of those automatic wire strippers myself a few years back. Worked great on paper but just mangled the ends on anything smaller than 16 gauge. Ended up giving it to a buddy who swears by it for bigger stuff but I'm back to my old manual strippers now.
