Typical Wiring

6-750 MCM - [1]
Irwin - this seems to be a winner [2] via YouTube video [3]. MJ Note - tool sucks. Lots of times it fails to strip 10 ga, not a production tool. 14 ga is perfect, 12 ga pretty good.
3 types of strippers - small is Irwin tool, next is a 6-12 ga, next is 4-4/0 (likely larger as well). Irwin tool strips the exterior Romex sheath - and the interior as well - important. Also check out the wire size-to-tool chart at [4].

and

Slit and peel with razor - quite effective - but razor is dangerous. Advantage - gets you to peel a long distance quickly:

Irwin Adjustable Wire Strippers (22 AWG – 10 AWG) - [6]. Lowes - you can return for life. Or Amazon - [7].
Wire Strippers (6 AWG – 12 AWG) - [8]
Cable Knife (4 AWG – 4/0) - [9]. How to use - [10]
Knipex also has good reviews - [11]. Check out how it's used [12].
