Southwire 4-12 AWG Wire strippers

Great for large wires

The strippers are great. I work in solar so I use them all the time and they haven’t given me any problems. The only bummer and reason I’m giving it 4 stars is after i ordered them it took about 2 weeks to get to the store. The eta was way off but the product itself is great.

Fast and Comfortable

I received these stranded wire strippers about 3 weeks ago and since receiving them I have had several chances to use them. They are very comfortable in your hand and easy to strip with. I am left handed and often it is troublesome to unlock and lock wire strippers with your left hand, these were very easy to do and gave you a very positive feeling when locked so you knew they would not open up on your pouch. The spring will open the pliers up quickly but it is not too overpowering where you ...

Rock solid

Stainless steel construction is a great feature to keep them rust free. covers a good range of larger gauge wiring. I use them primarily for automotive accessory wiring, for which they work great. Most aftermarket automotive products require larger gauge wiring. My only complaint, if you could call it that, is not going up to 4 AWG stranded. But I understand this company is primarily catering to commercial/residential sparkys, so can't really fault them for not including a pretty standard large ...

Sharp and durable!!!

I never actually knew there was a difference between solid and stranded wire strippers. I used to use combo strippers for everything I did. Well, I noticed that a lot of times the strippers would cut one or two of the strands off and never made clean cuts or strips. After using these I will never go back! These are the best! Super sharp and make clean cuts in both the wire and insulation. I've been extremely satisfied with just about every Southwire tool I've used and these are no different!! I'...

no more rust

Nice stainless steel. Very poor grips on handle. Constantly slips off of tool. Very annoying. Holes in strippers for various wire diameters seem to be slightly undersized. Strippers constantly dig into copper when stripping. This has gotten better over the last year of use but still is an issue. The main reason i keep the strippers in my tool belt is for the ability to strip #8 and #6 wire. Also very handy for use in wet conditions. I wish the holes were larger and the grips stayed in place.

Love handles.

I just received it and so far I love the handles, i haven't had them slip off like the previous review had. The double dipped handles are extremely comfortable and i wished they were on all my other tools. So far this wire stripper is easy to use and definitely if i were to lose mine, i'd buy another one in a heartbeat.

Good product

Wire strippers have a very solid feel to them and cut nicely. The orange handle makes it easy to see on a cluttered workbench. I am not an electrician so not sure how they would hold up in a day after day use but I believe they will be a good addition to my shop.

Compact and Precise

I've used these strippers for a variety of projects. They are super sharp and take wire casings off effortlessly. Feel is ergonomic and the design is slim and compact. The only other thing I would like to see these strippers have is an option to strip smaller gauge wire. I believe the smallest is 12-14 gauge.

Great Stripper

Since getting these, i have only had 2 chances to use them, and both times, they have been fantastic. The second time i used them, it was sprinkling out, and the grips, while wet, never slipped off, nor became too slippery to use. Would definitely recommend

High Quality Tool

Had my doubts when this brand of tool showed up but I will say this particular wire stripper is top notch. Hard to find a stripper of this type that will handle both 6awg and 8awg wire very easily. Provides straight clean cuts instead of using a knife. High quality locking mechanism keeps tool blades together for storage in the tool bag. Impressive
