During my install for the CR4 I had to strip the bundled wires and being that they were so thin it was a definitely a chore. I'd like to get a pair of wire strippers that are ideal for thin wires like the ones that normally come with CR chips. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm guessing the wires that are bundled with the CR4 are 28 or 30 AWG Kynar wire so something that would be good at stripping that.

A lighter, or nail clippers, those are usually my first choices. Or your teeth. Or a pair of wire strippers, that have the small wire holes. take your pick.
These wires or thin enough you can pinch the insulation off with your fingernails and its perfect

I'd suggest either IDEAL or Klein for any electrical hand tool that's going to be used regularly. You'll pay a little more but they'll last a lifetime. Whatever you do stay away from the auto strippers and the stripper/crimper conbo.
Edit. Lol. I just looked at your link and they are Klein. Buy them!
