What Customers Are Saying

This versatile wire stripper is praised for its excellent performance, durable construction, and comfortable ergonomic design. It consistently and cleanly strips a variety of wire gauges, both solid and stranded. The stainless steel blades and sturdy spring-loaded mechanism make it a long-lasting tool. While the small handles may not suit larger hands, and the spring can occasionally pop out, the overall consensus is that this is a high-quality tool offering great value.

One of the best on the market

Would Recommend

I LOVE these cutter/strippers. They are particularly helpful because they spring back when you cut or strip and they have stayed sharp after lots of use. Good product at a good price.

Great little stripper.

Would Recommend

This is a great stripper. It doesn’t have the features of a screw cutter and crimper but often times I prefer to have seperate tools for those specific tasks.

Great Tool

Would Recommend

If you want consistent cuts and wire strips the first time, you want this tool. Its compact size and light weight make it easy to carry this tool in your pocket. Even with my large hands it’s easy to use and consistently obtain clean cuts and wire strips. Simply put, it just works and works well. 5 stars and highly recommended.

South Wire Cutter/Stripper

Would Recommend

I have had these wire strippers for sever weeks now and used them on a few projects. I must say they have worked well for me. I get clean cuts on the insulation around the wire when stripping without cutting the wire itself. For the price I paid I feel they are a very good value.

Would Not Recommend

I'm a little disappointed in these strippers, when cutting strand wire it seems to cut a few strands each time even when using the upper "range" slot. I cut a bunch of 14 AWG using the 14–16 slot and it cut a lot of strands, so then I used the 12–14 slot and it cut a lot less, but still on acceptable. If you alter you're cutting technique a little bit and make it a little more complicated you can get by without cutting any strands, but this is supposed to be a quick and easy one step proce...
