What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this wire stripper for effortless, precise stripping and cutting that handles 10-12 gauge wire cleanly. The lightweight, slim ergonomic design with curved handles reduces hand fatigue and fits tight spaces, while the compact profile suits both professional and DIY use. Reviewers consistently highlight premium build quality, noting it feels heavy duty and durable despite its light weight. The bypass-style shear delivers superior cuts compared to competing models. A few mention minor wire gauge marking placement, but overall customers consider this an exceptional, reliable tool.

Quality wire stripping tool

Would Recommend

Precision wire stripping tool, with spring loaded handle makes the work of around the house jobs easier. The size is perfect and sits nicely in my hand, isn’t unwieldy like the other cheap ones I’ve used in the past. It’s worth the extra expense. Had no issues with stripping wire, only issue is with the sizing, as it can be confusing willing number of wire is which section to use. It could be user error though. Would recommend.

A nice upgrade from simple wire strippers

I like the curved handle. Fits very comfortably in my hand. The longer nose for using like pliers is much easier than other strippers I've owned.

Good but lacks things

Would Not Recommend

I bought this a few days ago. As a master electrician I’ve had my fair share of wire strippers. I’m a fan of Knipex 13-72-8 strippers. They’re the best that’s ever been. This Klein model closely resembles those. They strip “ok” they cut ok. But one thing I noticed immediately after handling is the jaws do not open up far at all. I was barely able to fit a 14 gauge extension cord in the cutters to cut it. Although, once fit around the wire it cuts effortlessly the Knipex strippers have no such tr...
