  • Very nice strippers. Don’t get to say that too often😜
Style: Wire Stripper
Great tool. Great brand. Great price. Grip is excellent. Like the locking lever. Easy to strip and a great design.

  • High quality, robust, precise, simple, gets the job done!
Style: Wire Stripper
This is a quality tool. It doesn't have the bells and whistles of more expensive, complicated wire strippers but I'm not a professional electrician so I won't be stripping hundreds of wires. I like the quality of the item, it is sturdy and very well finished. The curved handles also are a great feature. This item just fits your hand very well and is a joy to use. I have several cheap wire strippers and they dull quickly, aren't robust so the cutting blades don't line up very well. I have other Klein tools and they are all first class. ... show more

  • Best strippers on the market
Style: Wire Stripper
I have used the blue handled Kleins for almost 20 years as a technician and I can honestly say these strippers have worked so much better than any other stripper on the market. I've owned probably a dozen or so of these over the years, and I always come back for these . If you're an apprentice looking for your first tools or a master electrician or just hobbyist, I'd reccomend these over any other. Don't be fooled by the Knipex name for strippers, the gimmicky advertising of the Crocs, or the big bulky, any-gauge-jacket-pull style strippers. I have tried them all and they all have shortcomings when compared to these. Klein has absolutely nailed it. They are easy to see and use, function flawlessly are lightweight, and comfortable. Plus, if you lose them or they walk off a job site, they are very affordable to replace. You can be like me and spend a bunch of money to find what works for you best, but I've always come back to these, and now all the rest just sit in my spare tool bag. ... show more

  • Quality Product
Style: Wire Stripper
Over the years I've wasted both time and money buying cheep poorly made wire strippers You know the ones. You strip your wire only to find it damaged by a improperly misaligned cutter, now forcing you cut the unusable damaged wire and try again. I've stripped several hundred wires of all gages with these without any issues. The ease of use, as well time and material saved is well worth the purchase price. ... show more

  • It's an OK Stripper
Style: Wire Stripper
Bought for home DIY. It's a little too big for me. Don't care for the curved grip. Hard to see the wire gauge numbers. It does strip wires well. But for me, it's just ok.

  • Great Tool
Style: Wire Stripper
I am a "Saturday Afternoon" electrician, so I am not a professional and do not use these every day. However I do like good quality tools, and have long since convinced myself that spending a couple extra bucks for good tools is cheaper in the long run. I have used these for a couple projects, and so far, so good. === The Good Stuff === * They strip wire. I really only use 12 and 14 gauge NM, and these work great. * The handles are secure and don't slide off. The tool feels secure in my hand, and is about the right length and width to grip easily and line up with work. * The locking tab comes in handy for the toolbox. Less space, and less chance of getting wrapped up with the other tools. * After some use, the tool is still as tight and aligned as it was when I purchased it. But I do not use the cutter, so that may cut down on the wear and tear. === The Not-So-Good Stuff === * My eyes aren't what they used to be, and it is a bit tough to read the gauge markings on the tool. I am sure if I used it more often, I would be so used to tool that muscle memory would guide me to the right slot. I did put a small dot of orange paint next to the 14ga slot, and that has helped. * I would have preferred more friction in the lock clip. It has a tendency to slide into the lock position, usually at the worst possible time. I have considered removing it from the tool, but haven't as yet. === Summary === A comfortable and easy-to-use tool. It took me a long time to get used to using wire-strippers, I always just used wire cutters. But after a few nicked wires, I learned my lesson, and these are about the best pair I ever owned. ... show more
