This tool works for either hand, so I believe that the thumb valley and finger valley are on separate sides. But it shouldn't matter since it will work
Stranded at position #10
Yes, there is a spring in it. A push button is located behind the rubber part of the handle that extends past the thumb. If you need to remove live wires from a circuit, it is the ideal tool.
Don't bother with them. Get the ones that are 12 dollars cheaper instead. Due to the fact that I am an electrician, I require the

A picture of the handle might help. From the bottom of the hinge triangle to the ends, the size is about four inches. It covers almost the entire handle when my palm covers it. By doing so, I put my hand closer to the jaws, so I have more leverage when it comes time to remove This is important for me because I prefer to feel in I love how the handle is protected from the hinge all the way to the handle. I expect the plastic handle to last a long time due to the good brand. If you use other strippers with very thin insulation like this, you have to be careful about touching the metal when you are working on a live wire. It's even better on a dead wire. As a beginner, I cannot comment on the pros and cons. There is very little weight in the hinge spring. When they are closed, it takes only a small amount of pressure In testing it on 12 ga wire, the cutters made a clean cut both on insulation and wire. The stripping of the wire was accomplished in one squeeze, did not need to swivel it, and left no mark upon There is a locking H clip, but it is not the best. Overall, it locks well and does not feel loose. Despite this, I do not consider it a deal breaker.
No one would embarrass me if I bared all in front of them. Now that I have found such amazing strippers to help me in stripping, I can pretty much claim the title of best stripper in the world.
Having been using these strippers for about ten years, I have no hesitation in recommending them. I go to them all the time. These are a great feel to work with and I enjoy the fact that they can be hot worked (not that I'd condone it or claim they are insulated however. According to my experience, they are the best ones.
As a DIYer, I tend to do most of the work myself. The electrical fittings on my car are stripped off using this stripper. For the most part, I have used it on 2 and 3. A square of 5mm(sq) and a circle of There is a square cable of 5mm(sq). In the time it took me to write this, I would have made over 250 cuts using In the past, the correct gauge of the pliers has stripped the insulation perfectly each time with little effort and without damaging the copper wire. I do a little wrist movement (circular motion) to make sure the insulation is cut evenly on both sides. Only a couple of seconds are required. It's hard to tell how tall these strippers are by looking at them, because they don't have a length gauge. For a casual user they are affordable and do the job without nicking the copper (which I have experienced with other strippers). However, if you were a professional, you may need something faster and with a length gauge.
Wire strippers like these are my favorite. I've used Ideal Reflex Strippers for a long time & I love them. I noticed the soft thumbs and soft fingers as soon as I saw them Having never used detents before, my index finger was eager to use them. I find they work well as expected & It is possible for me to position my thumb in such a manner that it is insulated to glide off the insulation of the conductor Of course, I do not condone it. Sometimes we electricians have no choice but to do what we.
Light, nice, and professional. After a few months, there is no Klein wobble. It is an easy tool to use and I can cut three to four #10s all day long like butter. I like how light they are and how they fit nicely in my hand. We would definitely buy from them again in the future.
The wire cutter is easy to use, but it fails at cutting screws 8/32. I had to keep pulling the strippers open after cutting one screw, so they got stuck in the closed position, so I had to keep pulling them open!.
This product has been my go-to for more than 15 years. It's become impossible to cut a 6-foot long board in the last couple years The 32 screws jam up and I have to get new ones. When I was a kid, these strippers were my favorite. Perhaps it's time to make a change after all.
