  • Outstanding wire stripper...but I'm not so good with it as a crimper
Style: Wire Stripper Tool
I bought this tool because: 1) I was looking for a crimping tool 2) I did not have a good set of wire strippers 3) A reviewer indicated that the wire strippers were awesome 4) I thought the price was excellent. In using this tool as a crimper, I discovered that I have a tendency to "over crimp" the connectors. I don't see this as a failing of the tool...I see it as a failing of the user. I just don't have 'the touch' down yet. However, I was blown away by how well this tool strips wires. Pros 1) Great price 2) The gauge guides for wire stripping appear to be right on the money (just as another reviewer noted). When I line up the wire in the correct hole and press the handle, I get this satisfying little "pop" that I feel when a wire stripper exactly cuts the insulation but does not touch the wire underneath. The gauge is that good. 3) It works flawlessly as a wire-cutter. It makes nice clean cuts. 4) It can be used to make crimps if you have the experience and a good feel for it. Given my limitations with crimping, it will be my backup crimper. Cons 1) This is not a con of the product...but I don't make very good crimps with this tool. I blame me and not the tool. It is a solid tool, and I'm sure I could get really good at it with practice, but I wimped out and picked up a ratcheting crimper as well (in particular, I picked up S&G Tool Aid 18900 Professional Ratcheting Terminal Crimper). I personally recommend the tool as a great wire stripper/cutter. As far as a crimper goes, your personal skill at crimping connectors will determine its usefulness. For my part, I like the stripping/cutting ability so much, along with the price point, that I intend to keep it for that purpose alone. The fact that it can serve as a back up crimping tool is a bonus. ... show more

  • Favorite wire strippers/cutters
Style: Wire Stripper Tool
Best wire strippers I’ve ever used, took the insulation off easily and makes a perfect loop at end of wire, plus it isn’t bulky at all. Made for a very easy job.

  • Solid Simplicity, Still like new 4 years later
Style: Wire Stripper Tool
This is probably the only product I've bought here that hasn't atomized its self within 6 months. Not only that, but I've been using it consistently to cut and strip wires, break screws, occasionally crimp... crimps for the last 4 and a half years. The blades are still as sharp as they ever were, nothing is wearing down or malforming, and it has no problems opening and closing. My only gripe is that the little hole for making wire hooks isn't great, so I have to switch to another pair of pliers for that. This is a rare example of a simple, no-frills tool that actually serves its purpose and keeps serving that purpose without an expiration date. This is what "you get what you pay for" is SUPPOSED to mean- instead of paying a premium for the manufacturers not to sabotage it first. ... show more

  • Finally - a crimper that works
Style: Wire Stripper Tool
This tool is considerably better than the other cheaper crimpers that I already had. I was having problems using stranded copper wires in the automotive application that I have because they would turn and unwind so the wire could escape. Those tools do not have as aggressive crimping anvil as this one. I had tried soldering the wire so that it was like a solid wire and, although that helped, it did not stop the problem from recurring multiple times. This tool's very aggressive anvil allows the pressure on the crimp to compress the stem of the lug through to the other side so that the resulting crimp has a mechanical interference with the wire escaping. The tool has reduced my crimped wire failure incidences from many to almost none (like 1 or 2 out of 100 and those were in part due to not getting the anvil centered on the shank so only one side was crimped) The features of the tool include a wire cutter, strippers, small bolt cutter and the crimper. Each of these features is superior to the corresponding feature on other crimpers. While the stripper actually has fewer sizes, they are deeper so that they actually work and consequently fewer sizes are needed. The bolt cutters have multiple sizes, more than are usually available and it is easier to determine how long the resulting cut bolt will be. The only con I have is that the wire cutter is more of a chopper than a cutter. I think that this is considered by the manufacturer to be superior to a double blade. However, I do not. After a few cuts the blade gets dull and the other side is not there to help. At first I rated this as 4-star, but I think 5-star is appropriate because it is a superior product. ... show more

Really nice, handy tool to have around. Easy to use. Makes precise stripping cuts. Used it as a crimper for some 18 gauge wire with butt connectors, perfect.
