Not for Lefties

Would Recommend

The tool is great if you are right handed. Like many people, my opposing hand is worth FA. I wish these things were made to where I could use them with with my left hand.

Been on the fence for a long time, wondering if they are worth the price. My hands are now just bad so I purchased this set. Totally impressed with them. Easy to use and very little strain on the hands.

Great wire strippers

Would Recommend

Wish I had bought this pair of wire strippers years ago - they work perfectly. I had some simple plier-like wire strippers before, and they work eventually, but this self-adjusting stripper takes off exactly the right amount of insulation every time.

Disappointed

Would Not Recommend

I've been eyeing several brands and researching auto strippers. My wife knew I liked klein products and ordered me one for my birthday in July of 24'. Well, they don't adjust very well. The stopper has to be fully extended to have the best chance with 12 Guage wire, but it doesn't stay in place, and it's not a guarantee it'll work. It's very touchy, and the adjusting screws won't stay adjusted. I'm really disappointed in this one and expected better out of this brand.

Klein a good brand, with good tools at a fair $

Would Recommend

It's Klein, solid quality. All metal construction, sturdy, adjustable. I've stripped everything from 12/2 to 18g. A drop of oil on moving parts every once in awhile and it should last an average guy a lifetime. If you feel you need something better, Knipex is a superior German manufacturer. That being said, to actually upgrade your in the $100, more like $150+ range. Make sure you leave Knipex out on your workbench so your friends can see them and loathe you.

Worth Every Penny

Would Recommend

Very easy to use on romex and if you are doing any junction work or rewiring it is worth the small investment for the times savings and relief in your knuckles.

Best wireing tool

Would Recommend

I saw these tools being used in a diy video on YouTube. I bought them to help with wiring my irrigation system. They were very easy to use and stripped the wire sheath clean without damaging the inner wire. This allowed me to have less waste and easier splicing with clean connections. These will be my go to stripping and cutting wire tools from now on. Best part was they cut various size wires without having to adjust the tool or figure out which stripping hole to use.

Doesn’t work

Would Not Recommend

Does not hold the wire when stripping. I had to hold onto the wire to keep it from being pulled through.

Great self-adjusting wire strippers.

These work perfectly, unlike my Irwin/Vise-grip set. Good purchase.
