What Customers Are Saying

The wire stripper tool received mixed reviews. Many found it useful and convenient for quickly and cleanly stripping various wire types without damage. However, some customers reported issues with the tool jamming or not working well on certain wire gauges, particularly thinner 14-gauge. While generally effective, the tool's performance can be inconsistent, and it may not suit all users' needs equally.

New and wonderful?

Was looking for a romex zipper like the kind you’d get for free in a box of wire. Saw this and thought I’d give 40 years of improvement a chance. The jury’s still out, seems to work OK but I haven’t put it through the paces yet. It’s a push tool to strip instead of a pull, wondering how that’s gonna work on that real short stub of wire sticking out of a gem box. In the mean time I’ll keep both types handy.

All in one tool with all the needed functions

Would Recommend

Nifty little tool, works well in new wiring projects. Using on existing wires in boxes was not as easy.

Cute, but not effective

Would Not Recommend

I am sure some people can get this to work. Just use a knife or some nm strippers.

Hi Jake really meant for the person who occasionally works with NM cable. Try the 45-621 NM T-Stripper you may like it better. Ron at ron.kipper@...
