3 Pack Hakko. CHP CSP-30-1 Wire Stripper, 30-20 Gauge Maximum Cutting Capacity, Combination wire stripper, shear, and pliers for multiple uses

Clean cuts on 30 gauge insulated wire are no problem for me - Bending or twisting the leg is not recommended. It has a locking device to protect the cutting edges, and other reviews have complained that the embossed gauges are difficult to read. It was no problem for me to paint white acrylic paint over the gauges as soon as I got them home, and the embossed marks will be easier to read because paint is left in them.

The product was purchased specifically to be used for both cutting and stripping 20 gauge wires, and it is grooved to make it easy to strip led wires and breadboard. We sell led soldering kits, Arduino breadboards, and other circuit boards. Technically, a regular wire cutter without pre-cut wires could strip wires accurately. Wires should be stripped in the grove to avoid damage. Simply place the correct gauged wire 20 in the grove marked 20 at the point where you wish to strip the wire. A wirecutter's handle grips must be compressed completely. Pull the wire across the wire cutters in the opposite direction. You may want to strip at a specific location if your wirecutters don't have a grove. After making small, light cuts with the blade portion of the wire, rotate it 90 degrees three times, for a total of four rotations. It's a good idea to practice cutting wire before hand in case you press down too hard and cut it. As soon as the sheath is noticed as being Press slightly down the wirecutter grips in the marked location and pull the wire out.

I immediately applied the paint to my tool after receiving it, as suggested by others, in order to make the markings more visible. Despite the fact that I received both sides of mine marked, the other side had some incorrect markings, such as 5awg- The awg 20 markings, as well as the mm markings, are also incorrect. It's possible that I made a mistake, but that's how the grade was calculated. This minor annoyance has no effect on the stripper's performance. There should be no issues because the opposite side is difficult to read after the white paint has been applied. It's also possible that after a few uses of the product, you'll never look at the sizing markings again. I'm calling this a win because the tool has performed admirably thus far.

I've worked in the electronics industry for over 30 years and have used a wide range of electronics. I've seen my fair share of good and bad strippers over the years. There isn't a single good thing about these. This hakko stripper was a huge letdown for me. Hakko produces excellent products, but these strippers do not meet my expectations. In my case, I use a 30 gauge stripper. I work with wire on a daily basis, and these strippers frequently glide right off, leaving the insulation intact, indicating that the operator did not make a mistake. They have a shabby appearance due to their construction. It is very disappointing to see that some of them work correctly from time to time.

I already have a nice wire stripper that is similar to the Klein Tool 11063 8-Inch Wire Stripper. It's a no-brainer. I found a wire stripper on Amazon that strips 22 AWG wire, with one part gripping the insulation behind the stripping point and the other part stripping it away. In this case, all I need are short 26 AWG wires that are about 1/4 inch tall. Because my stripper does not have the capability of separating wires when a cable is bundled, it is not suitable for stripping wires bundled in cables. I decided to buy this Hakko stripper because it had good reviews and was reasonably priced. I bought it because of its thin jaws and good reviews. When it came to quality, everything was fine. When I tested the wire stripper, I discovered that it couldn't do the job properly because I couldn't pull on it to strip the wire, as another reviewer pointed out. When removing the insulation, the test resulted in ripping out the majority of the strands as well. There's no doubt that the type and thickness of the insulation affects the difficulty of removing it, but I had no trouble removing insulation with my other stripper. I'm not sure if this stripper works better on larger gauge wires, but I haven't tried it. There's also a chance that the blades on this stripper aren't adjusted closely enough to the wire gauge. If they're too close together, they could nick the wire. My older stripper, on the other hand, has no problem nicking. As I previously stated and as I have tried several times, I have found that turning the stripper around the strip point before attempting to remove the insulation works better. This stripper will be used during my current project. However, once that is completed, I will return to and place it back in the toolbox.

Despite my financial constraints, I decided to spend a small amount of money. As an idiot, I feel terrible! In all seriousness, and as a practical matter, I wanted to try wire wrapping, and I simply could not strip wire of 30 gauge. Even on a gauge that small, this tool works beautifully and only cuts off the end of the screw once in ten times, probably due to noodling. My teeth used to be wired for the rest of my life, and they still work fine, but this is just as quick and a better example to set for my kids.
