It works 86.3% of the time.
It does tend to slip on certain types of wire, in all this time I have never figured out exactly why it does it on some and not on others.
But I love them regardless, it's been a fantastic tool over the years.
I'm an electronic hobbyist and absolutely do not strip more wires than a professional, but I probably strip significantly more wire than the average homeowner.
I've used this on all sorts of wire from solid house wiring, to small gauge stranded to stranded thick insulation 2 AWG wire.
I looked back on my Amazon order and I paid $18.50 for this in April of 2015.
This is absolutely worth $25 now.
Community Reviews
The Irwin self adjusting wire stripper stands out as a versatile hand tool for stripping, cutting, and crimping insulated and non insulated terminals. It gets strong marks for long term use on speaker cable, Romex, house wiring, and stranded wire, with several reports calling it a huge time saver and a joy to use. The main drawback is that it can slip on some wire types, and the handle mounted crimper and pinch point draw criticism from some hands on users. A solid all in one option if you want extra crimping capability in the same tool.
The Irwin wire stripper can strip and also crimp insulated and non-insulated terminals.
The Irwin has been used for years on speaker cable and Romex with strong satisfaction.
The Irwin can work as a time saver while avoiding finger pinching when held correctly.
The Irwin has been used thousands of times without pinching hands during stripping.
The Irwin can slip on certain wire types, which can reduce stripping consistency.
The Irwin's handle design can create a pinch point that may pinch fingers during stripping.
The Irwin's plastic stopping point can be near useless until enough stripping practice is gained.
The Irwin's crimper design can feel dangerous or uncomfortable because sharp teeth sit near the hand area.

Think I will wait for a deal on the Klein, never had problems with that brand.
The Klein 110601 might be better, but it has a wire cutter between the handles. I just can't wrap my head around the idea of putting sharp crimping/ cutting teeth on the part of the tool where your hands go. The marketing folks driving this crap need to be forced to use these things every day.
I have the Klein 11063, which works great for most stuff. The only thing between the grips is a spring which could bite I suppose, but never has. For finer wire, I have a Klein 11057 manual stripper. Auto strippers don't work as well for many of the smaller than 20 gauge wires I need to strip, but I also have a Felo auto stripper that does a good job with a wide range of wires.
And if somehow the crimper part IS a selling feature (facepalm), do yourself a favor and just buy the actual right tool for the crimp connections you intend to make. These will absolutely guarantee lousy results on anything.
Saw a deal on the Klein and how people recommended that, so I bought that this time around.
Both are great as wire strippers. The extra screw on the Klein is just for the wire-stop which is metal. Honestly, I never use those so I don't care about that... but it does move more easily on the Irwin if you use that feature. I always rotate these away, so that feature (and screw) are useless to me.
I do miss the extra crimper on the Irwin, but I ended up buying a ratcheting crimper so I don't care... just means I need to carry an extra tool.
In the end, both are excellent as wire strippers. As for the crimper, it's a nice-to-have but not a dealbreaker one way or the other.
And, I agree with @JayW7752, if you're cutting or pinching your hands in this area, you're doing something very wrong... I have never even come close to that being a problem. In fact many other tools have pinch or cut features in this area, never had an issue.
