For those who are easily swayed by a single negative review, a one-star rating has been assigned. This is ideal. They strip wire just fine, and as long as you read the description carefully (understand the size specifications) and don't abuse them, I'm confident they'll last a long time; I've already used them.

Purchasing the Irwin version is a waste of money. I did, and after one day I sent it back because it only worked about 80% of the time. The Klein tool costs seven dollars more, but it works 100% without f f f f.

It seems to work okay. As an example, I'm not going to write a lengthy review extolling the virtues of this particular tool, so here are the advantages and disadvantages: Advantages: br>br>
- Cutting blades that are properly sized, fitted, hardened, and sharpened and can be easily replaced by the userbr>- Handles that are easy to holdbr>- Strips most common wire sizes quickly and easily. br>- Cuts wire in a variety of sizes with easebr>- Cons: It appears to be mostly well made, it actuates smoothly, and it inspires confidence in its long-term durabilitybr>br>Pros: It appears to be mostly well made, it actuates smoothly, and it inspires confidence in its long-term durability
- Handles require a long travel distance to operate the mechanism, which may be unsuitable for smaller hands or inconvenient for larger ones. br>- It is sometimes inconvenient to choose the proper cutter for the size of wire because it does not do a perfect job on smaller gauge wire. br>- Through- When cutting long lengths of wire, cutting jaws are nearly useless because the wire must be slid all the way through the cutters to point where the cut will be made. If you're a professional who enjoys the tool's striping capabilities, I'd recommend removing the cutter entirely to save weight and bulk and relying solely on a pair of high-quality angle cutters for all of your cutting needs. br>- It's constructed in the same way that many modern tools are: multiple layers of thin steel are cut to all of the complex shapes and then welded or riveted together in layers. This isn't a bad way to make tools, but it's a cost-cutting measure that doesn't look or feel as good as a properly machined tool made from a single forging, casting, or, better yet, a solid billet of material.

I'd seen these before at work, but I didn't have one until now. For my own use, I finally purchased one. This wire stripper is one of my favorites. By comparing the wire conductor size to the matching stripping slot by eye, you can align the wire with the correct stripping slot. After that, with a simple squeeze - The wire is cleanly stripped by clicking it. The strip length is the distance between where you place the wire in the stripping slot and where it ends - You can make the strip as long or as short as you like. There are a few restrictions. br>br> The wire size must be compatible with the stripping slot. If your wire conductor is too large for the largest slot or too small for the smallest stripping slot, it will not strip your wire cleanly; however, it specifies which wire gauges it works with in the description. And I know from previous work experience that some wire types are more resistant to stripping than others - I recall Teflon wire with thin insulation being a little more difficult to strip with all of the different wire stripping tools. Fortunately, this isn't your typical type of wiring. The Pros: br>br>The Pros: br>br>The Pros: br>b All wire gauges that fit its stripping head are stripped cleanly and easily - See the item description for more information. br>You can see exactly where the wire will be stripped and how long the stripped end will be. br>You have complete control over how long the stripped end will be. br>Once you've mastered the use of the strippers, it's the quickest way to strip a large number of wires. br>Excellently constructed! Limitations: br>br>Exclusions: br>br>Exclusions: br>br>Exclusions It only strips up to and down to the wire gauges specified in the stripper's specifications. br>It's a little pricey, but I think it's worthwhile.

Those regular pliers were what I used to use. For electronics projects, I used to use style wire strippers, but they were always unreliable. They'd either fail to cut through the insulation completely, or they'd damage the metal filaments beneath it. Maybe an experienced electrician could use them with confidence because they work with them on a daily basis, but I'm just a hobbyist who does a small amount of wiring for a project every now and then. br>br>This, on the other hand, works perfectly. There's no need for any special technique; it just gets me perfectly stripped leads every time with no effort. It's a bit pricey for something I only use once or twice a year, but the peace of mind and lack of anxiety is worth it.

We purchased this with the intent of using it to strip 22 gauge stranded wire; according to everything on Amazon and the Klein website, it should be able to strip my wire properly, but it does not strip it when placed in the smallest hole. It glides over the insulation and shaves off some of it, but it looks like it has a hole that is too large for it. If you require this for 22 gauge wire, be aware that it may not function as intended. br>br>I had already contacted Klein customer service, who advised me to replace the blades with their smaller gauge counterparts. is a link to what you might require. They said they'd send me replacement blades for free, which solves MY problem, but I wanted to make everyone else aware that it might not work with their specific brand of 22 gauge wire.
