    • Worth the price
Size: 8 inches Style: Comfort Grip Pattern Name: Stripper
The cutters on these cut like a dream. They are comfortable in the hand. They are super durable made with high quality material. They strip wires really well and the nose of the strippers helps take apart wire or just used as pliers. They are really lightweight and they aren't too big which is nice for measuring wire out of a box because it leaves me more than enough to work with. The design of the comfort grip is appealing compared to the standard grip or even other strippers. Cutting screws of any sort is effortless, my only issue is that they don't cut the screws short enough. Other then that I love these strippers ... show more

    • Best wire strippers I’ve used on the job
Size: 8 inches Style: Comfort Grip Pattern Name: Stripper
These are easily the best hand tool I’ve owned. While other brands make similar tools, once you use these it’s very hard to go back. The design is incredibly efficient and clearly built for professional use. They’re especially well-suited for someone with field experience (roughly 2+ years) who understands proper safety practices. I would never cut anything I wasn’t certain was de-energized, but for approved applications these cut MC cleanly and effortlessly. They’re excellent for splicing and often eliminate the need to carry lineman’s pliers for many tasks. The build quality is top-tier, and they’ve held up extremely well to regular jobsite use. Durable, precise, and absolutely worth the investment. ... show more

    • without exaggeration, the finest tool of its kind
Size: 8 inches Style: Comfort Grip Pattern Name: Stripper
The KNIPEX 13 72 8 Forged Wire Stripper is, without exaggeration, the finest tool of its kind I have ever used. It perfectly blends the brute strength of a craftsman's plier with the delicate precision of a surgeon's scalpel. The forged construction provides a sense of indestructible quality, yet the compound leverage mechanism makes stripping even tough wires feel incredibly smooth and effortless. The precision-ground stripping holes are impeccably sized and cleanly cut through insulation without a single nick to the copper conductor. The integrated cutters are razor-sharp, and the ability to crimp terminals adds to its remarkable versatility. This single 8-inch tool has effectively replaced two or three others in my bag. For any electrician, technician, or serious DIYer, this is not just an expense; it's a long-term investment in flawless performance. The ergonomics, balance, and sheer quality justify its price many times over. Once you use it, every other wire stripper feels inadequate. An absolute five-star masterpiece. ... show more

    • The right tool for the job. Amazing wire strippers for Rolex (nm wire)
Size: 8 inches Style: Comfort Grip Pattern Name: Stripper
Why did you pick this product vs others?: I recently wired my new home. Versatility: I was able to use this for every circuit, made perplexing to rough-in, and final inspections a breeze! Speed: My dad was using pair of dykes making up the switch boxes, and I was making up the outlets (so so many outlets) I not only finished first, but ended up jumping in and doing about 1/3 of the switch boxes in the same area he was working in. Total dream to use! Grip: Great grip with and without gloves Works well: Cannot hammer home enough just how sharp, durable, and well engineered for the purpose these are. This was my first knipex product, and it will not be the last! ... show more

    • Nothing beats these for finish work or stripper replacement.
Size: One Size Style: Standard Grip Pattern Name: Stripper
I don’t often write reviews. I always want to, but I figure someone else probably said what I was going to say or I get busy and forget. These earned a mention, though. I have linesman pliers. Klein and knipex. You’ll get great linesman from either. The thing is, I still don’t know what they’re for. They twist wire great, but don’t strip it. They cut some cables, but often struggle with Larger multi conductor cables. After 10-3 it’s a lot of effort to cut/fit cable in there. They’re good for light hammering (be honest), and cutting smaller cables. That’s really it. There’s a reason hybrid pliers have exploded in the last 5 years. South Wire offers a plier that cuts better than any linesman, strip’s Romex sheath and strips 14 and 12. Klein has fantastic hybrids, especially that grey and black linesman hybrid. Not to mention a few 18-10 hybrids. Milwaukee and ideal have new offerings as well. It’s not the 1940s and original linesman just doesn’t solve all the problems these new offerings do. 9-10” heavy duty dykes for all your staple pulling, heavy cable/conductor cutting (even if it’s a few nips to get through, zip tie, knockout hammer, etc. Hybrid pliers Screw drivers Razor That will solve everything thrown at you. Why I like these hybrids? Good enough stripper selection. 18-10 and super sharp. Cuts romex and feeder conductors easier than any linesman. Slim and light. The nose is wide for twisting. but slim to get in tough areas. There’s a groove midway in the knurled twisting face that makes the perfect loop for devices. After you strip, keep them slightly closed, push the conductor in that groove and it’s the perfect width for 14 and 12 loops. The protruded guide between the 14 and 12 gauge stripper holes make the muscle memory lightning fast. The slim designs makes setting and getting your stripped length fast and effortless. The spring assist is not in the way, visible, or foul-able. The thumb lock breaks in perfect. The real hidden surprise though, is the 6-32 and 8-32 screw cutter. You don’t thread the screws in or out. No more getting your flat or Philips or impact out to thread it all the way in and back out. Just stick it through, cut, you’re done. This Makes devicing so much faster and easier. I don’t know how it gets it done without the need to clean/rethread by the old process of manually unscrewing, but it works flawlessly. Imagine blank plating in seconds not minutes. drawbacks: not appropriate as a light hammer for notching wood with a flat head, or for enclosure knockouts. too light and fit-dependent to use in that fashion. The shear/cutting area is a few inches away from the start of the tool. You have to open them wider and guide the tool or cable to the cutting surface; more than on dykes or linesman. If I was roughing, I’d use the Klein hybrid linesman. If you’re finishing, these can’t be beat. ... show more
