My only question is how did you remove the insulation from that wire in the middle of it's run? I have done this with a utility knife, but this looks far neater.
Very correct, sometimes when doing multiple wires in a harness or getting into an existing harness the aid of a tool always prevails when its the right tool.
The use of the automatic wire-stripper comes in handy.. A tool easily picked up in several variations although we don't recommend some of the others we've seen and tried. They either are easily damaged, mis-allignment issues which shred wires, the bulkiness of them etc..
We prefer this type for the easy use from 24ga to generally 12ga wires, some times a 10 gauge if its not too soft of an insulation.

will be all the stripping tools you will need for 98% of everything you are likely to touch as a DIY'er. Usually I also recommend for the general purpose of crimpers these as well;

I like these the best for just about everything especially while under a dash because the jaws are so thin and setup in a way that allow you to get a small section of wire pulled from the main harness and these slide right in side ways and strip wires without damage.
Squeeze the handles slightly to tighten them on a wire.
A single pull of the strippers
A double pull if you needed to have a bit more length to play with.
Glad to contribute fellas oh.. and and to the lady or two on here.
