It's a pre-programmed option. So, if you're installing a lot of the same thing (like plug ins, light switches, a specific end piece, etc. ), measuring out the length you need to strip off becomes a breeze.
They come with a warranty from the Pomona, California factory. They also make a lot of hand and air tools, and I think you'll be pleased with them! On the various sizes, the dies are precise and sharp. smooth retract! Tries these so-called automatic wire strippers and they seem to tear the insulation rather than a clean 360 degree strip on the insulation. I had a pair similar to these that came from radio shack in the late 1960's and they are similar but much smoother and don't snag the wire.

I hope this is of assistance to you, dude. Greetings in the New Year! Smiley
This is a fantastic tool, but I have yet to test it on teflon-insulated wire, but my guess is that it will work.

Selected User Reviews For Capri Tools 20010 Precision Wire Stripper
br>br>At first, I was skeptical of the CAPRI strippers' quality, but after using them for several hours straight with at least 50 strips of 18 - I'm very pleased with the 22 awg strand wire. br>I haven't tried them yet with solid wire or romex. I don't think there should be any problems as long as the wire strand is aligned with the cutter hole. If the strand is caught by an intermediate cutter tooth, not only will the cut be ruined, but the cutter may be damaged as well. As a result, make sure that the wires are properly aligned. br>br>At this point, I've discovered that I use the 16g stripper hole when stripping 18g wire. I was using high-voltage wire with a thick insulation at the time. The cutter was kept away from the strands by going up a size in gauge, and there was still plenty of insulation for the cutter to grab. Using the correct size cutter works well as well, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't slicing any strands while stripping. br>br>Wire stripping is now a lot more enjoyable. So far, I've been very pleased. br>I should've gotten these a long time ago.
I've been looking for Klein Katapults for a long time because I've been using them for the past 8 years and love them! These are absolutely necessary for me as an automotive mechanic who specializes in electrical diagnostics and repair. I adore these things because they allow me to strip even short lengths of wire perfectly, regardless of insulation thickness or condition, and they always work.
The optional guide did not come with instructions on how to install it, so I've included some photos to show how it should be done. This tool can be used without the guide, but it makes stripping multiple wires to the same length a breeze. Get a hold of yourself if you're complaining about a stiff spring. This device is well-made and performs admirably. Personally, I don't look at (or trust) the numbers on the guide at first; instead, I start with an obviously oversized hole and work my way down until I get a good strip. That way, I won't cut any wire strands by accident. If I'm stripping multiple wires of the same size, I can use those numbers for repeatability. br>br>I bought this unit to replace one that had served me well for 35 years. Let's hope it lasts as long as the last! LOL.
It's a lot of fun using this product. I even went so far as to order an extra set of cutters from Capri so that I could strip 24 and 26 gauge wires with this product. Using the Allen wrench that came with the Capri strippers, remove the original 16 to 22 AWG stripper blades and replace them with the 18-gauge stripper blades. The removal of two Allen screws and the holding plate for the 26 AWG Blades, as well as the 16-inch blade, required the removal of two Allen screws and the holding plate. Installing the 18 to 26 AWG blades and reinstalling the holding plate and Allen screws after replacing the 22 AWG blades. br>It was a pleasure to work with the Capri team in Pamona, CA.
Everything except stranded 10 gauge has worked well so far. I was attempting to connect a RigRunner to my truck using Anderson Powerpoles on 10 gauge wire with thicker silicone insulation from the battery. While this thing sliced through the insulation with ease, it also snatched up a few strands. It was enough that I couldn't stand using it on the low end. So, for this one, I had to revert to my old stripper tool. All other wires I've tried, ranging in age from 18 to 60, have failed miserably. The 12 gauge has proven to be an excellent choice. I'm deducting a star because it claims to be rated for 10 gauge but it's not.
I don't need them for much, but they stripped 22 gauge wire easily and cleanly without removing any copper strands, which is the smallest gauge wire this tool can handle. It was for an led strip light that came without connectors that I was adding to my new vacuum with a 921 T10 male socket connector. That's the type of socket and auto bulb the vacuum used in a dimly lit/located light, so I decided to upgrade my new vacuum after seeing other new vacuums with led lights and considering my poor eyesight. I now have a great pair of wire strippers that I enjoy using and saved money by not purchasing the Klein version, which is essentially the same exact design/materials. I didn't need to use the included plastic adaptor to set the length of sheath to cut; I just eyeballed it and it worked fine. Visit YouTube if you want to see them in action. So put down the pen knife and those old squeeze and pull stripper crimpers and invest in a quality tool designed for the job; you've waited long enough.
GLAD I DID. br>br> So far, I've used the Capri stripper on both stranded and solid wires from 12 to 18 gauges with perfect results, with no scored or cut strands and no scoring on the solid wire. br>br>With my old one, I used to try to use a size larger than the actual gauge to avoid cutting some strands, but it was often difficult to cut through the insulation, and I still cut some strands, but with this automatic stripper, I simply use the same br>br>I use the tool's optional guide/wire stop to keep the strip length consistent. Despite the fact that it is a little inconvenient. The stop, on the other hand, can be easily removed and stored without causing the stripper to malfunction. br>br>The optional guide/wire stop is simple to set up, and the plastic stop can be removed and stored when not in use. It aids in the production of consistent strips, but it is a little difficult to operate. There were no installation instructions included, so I emailed Capri, who promptly responded with a photo of the installation and instructions to remove the lower Allen screw with the supplied Allen wrench and replace it with the guide's screw. A photograph of them has been attached.
