I've used them a lot. They work great. You may need to adjust the tension depending on wire size and the slickness of the insulation. I could see them being hard to use with really slick wires or wires where the insulation is very elastic. I've mostly used them on 12-18 awg gxl automotive wire. But, I have used them on smaller and bigger wires without issue.
I love them for creating gaps in wires for terminals to run common power and ground. Here is an example I did for a switch panel. Common power and ground for the switch lights kept the need for more wires to a minimum.

In case anyone was wondering why the two switches on the right are different, it is for my winch. One switch needs to be on for the winch in/out switch to function.
I hope you have some autostrippers
Hydraulic crimpers
The Channelock 911's are probably fine, I have the equivalent Kleins. Same with the 909's. Also get some auto strippers for all the smaller wire (head unit, speaker, etc)
For the meter, my vote goes to a used Fluke 77
They can cost from 16 to 35 depending on brand. [This is the pier I have.] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00CXKOEQ6/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1526987319&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=self+adjusting+wire+stripping+tool&dpPl=1&dpID=41Xs5d78DVL&ref=plSrch)
Good to know.
Any experience with the Klein self-adjusting model?
