Questions & Answers

What about speaker wire? Will these cutters cut it?

Wire diameter of speaker is 14-gauge These should work because they are 16 gauge.

In the description it says there are 3 of them. The length of the bar is nine inches. Do you believe this to be true?

At the moment they are in my truck, but it is not possible for them to be only three. The length of the bar is nine inches. Having to be at least 5 is my goal. Please keep it at least 5" wide.

What is the stripping capacity of AWG #10 stranded wires?

I do not believe it will happen 10 years from now The solid wire is 20 AWG and the stranded wire is 12 AWG. The 22 AWG stranded wire

If so, are you using the tip of the tool to bend the wire (e.g. What is the purpose of looping the outlet wire around the Do you have the ability to remove the sheathing from the 14 ga wire?

It's true and it's true. In case you want to loop solid core wire, there are holes on each side. As the tip is shaped like a pliers, the bending of wire can also be done with it. This stripper will strip wires up to 14 AWG there are markings on the nose indicating its ability to strip wires of each size.

Our tried and true methods work
5/5

When stripping wire, you don't need a lot. Throughout my long career in electrical and controls, I have taken a variety of approaches and this method is what I always use. For me, one of the best characteristics is the lack of a locking tab to maintain the closure, since these quickly demand adjustment to prevent accidental opening. This is a smaller tool that I use compared to the other styles since I wear Maxiflex size XL gloves. This shortens it, so you don't have to rely as much on your wrists, which I believe to be a small but noticeable difference. It's kind of amusing to see apprentices come to me with the gimmicky Milwaukee needle nose combinations strippers or the usual big curved handle Klein's or similar, and how awkwardly they My extra pair of shoes was lent to them, and 3 out of 4 of them purchased the same type of shoe. Positive qualities - This item is made in the U. S. Please note A lightweight - This compacts
* Durable - It is inexpensive
The basic version with no gimmicks

Cons - You can lose it easily.

Remove wires with wire It is a little disappointing to receive these wire strippers from Klein
4/5

There are a lot of Klein tools I own, and I actually think they are good This set of wire strippers just does not work as it The wire was only easily cut with a 12 gauge stranded wire, but it was very difficult to strip the wire. This set of Klein wire strippers does not compare to my other Klein products, but I believe it's just a bad set. My other Klein products are some of the best tools I own, but this pair does not measure up.

I was skeptical at first, but now I'm convinced! This tool is very light! Please don't mistake me, I was sceptical not because of the quality of the tool, but rather because this tool and the other had a great deal of popularity
5/5

I'll try to remember the name of that brand now, but I know I debated whether or not to spend a bit more on this brand instead of the other popular brand, but that was until I realized they were made in the USA. Upon discovering this, there was no contest (as I once told a judge for a traffic ticket). I stuck with these. These were thin, light, and smooth to hold in my hand, and their capability to strip cables/wires is unarguably remarkable. This is a very useful tool to have and you won't regret it once you buy it. I wasn't too happy with the 'Stock' photo Amazon had here, so I uploaded my own to give you an idea of what they look like when real size. Overall, I would rate this tool an A+ in terms of recommending it to friends! The Ph. D. program. If you ever encounter a problem with a product, you can always return it to Amazon. That's a sure thing when it comes to returns.

Cutting wires of small diameter is made easier with such a tool
5/5

One of my most used tools in the workshop is this device. Wires with a diameter between the dimensions of this tool are cut, stripped, and soldered continuously by me. If I need to wire something bigger, I use a different tool for very small items I have a tool just for them, but for the medium sizes, I use the same one The tool really works well whenever I use the wire size that I seem to use most frequently. I find that the handles are wide on the edges to allow for more force when cutting solid wires and the tool fits well in my hands, I wear large gloves and still find this tool quite useful, it is extremely It's designed to work in the 10-20 GHz range There is 20 AWG cable for both solid and stranded use, and I'm using it for both. A downside of this tool is that it does not have an in-built locking mechanism. In spite of the fact that this is not necessary, I prefer to stuff this in a carry bag so that the sharp teeth are less likely to snag on and cause injury. Having them made in the USA and meeting my needs is important to me as well as the fact that they work well. The product I got really works for me and I use it.

You have baggage
3/5

Out of the box, these were not working. In order to strip the wire completely, these could not be closed completely. The cutting edges had metal debris on them, which rendered them useless.

Over twenty years ago, as a professional electrician, I used this product and I love it
5/5

My only problem is that I lose them. I have to buy new ones every now and then. Control work is a snap with them.

I like it
5/5

The quality is good and the price is reasonable. It was reasonably priced, but I do not remember how much I paid. This wire cutter has been used a few times and I find it works well for smaller wires.

Use of this product is not recommended for professionals
3/5

After only one day using the cutter, I broke the cutter cutting 16awg strander copper wire. There is no longer a feature in which it can close all the way unless forced and It is a nice tool, and I like how it looks, but I need it to work to use it. While I could see this as being a good choice for home users every once in a while, it won't hold up in a professional environment.
