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.

The title was spot on.

Would Recommend

Light weight and slender design. Perfect for a smaller toolbag set up. Great for stripping wire, the crimper works great and you can twist wire with them. This is a great tool for multiple purposes.

Grate upgrade!

Would Recommend

This model is far better than the last version. For one it has a lock. Second, it cuts much better. The thickness is not as much as before but it is still very sturdy / heavy duty and slimmer allowing you to reach into tighter spaces. Last, it is made in Taiwan with very high quality machining.

Great combination cutters, strippers, and pliers!

Would Recommend

These combination cutters, strippers, and pliers work great. The thinner design makes them easy to carry and have been more useful than their thicker models. The curved handles and spring loaded design make them easy to hold and work with one hand.

Smooth Stripper

Would Recommend

The new slim design allows you to reach into tighter spaces and it also cuts/strips cables with very little effort. My only complaint is that the gauge sizes are printed only on one side.

Slim, pocket-sized, yet strong for 10–12 gauge.

Would Recommend

What I like most about the Klein Tools slim‑forged wire stripper is how practical and easy it is to use for everyday projects. I mainly work with 10 and 12 gauge wire, and it handles both cleanly without any hassle. The slim design is a big plus because it fits right in my pants pocket with no issues, so it’s always within reach when I need it. Since I do a lot of DIY homeowner work, having a tool that’s compact, reliable, and efficient makes a big difference, and this wire stripper is perfect f...

Great strippers

The klein forged strippers are a great pair of strippers for any electrician. The cutters are very sharp and the plier end is grippy and perfect for twisting wires. Would recommend for people with large hands.

Great stripper that’s light for a forged combo

Would Recommend

I like these combo strippers. They strip wires very well and the bypass style shear makes a very clean cut. I like the fact that these are a less substantial combo stripper making the lighter to carry in your bag. The “Klein Curve” handles fell very comfortable in the hand.

The only wire stripper you’ll ever need

The Klein wire stripper is hands down the only wire stripper I’ll use. It cuts like butter — clean, precise, and effortless every time. The grip feels great in hand, even during longer jobs, and it’s lightweight without feeling cheap. You can tell it’s built for real work. If you’re doing electrical work regularly, this is a must-have tool. Reliable, sharp, and comfortable — exactly what you want on the job.

nice and light weight for forged wire strippers

Would Recommend

works well. made in Taiwan 🇹🇼 of your wondering. weights 7.5 ozs. small head with cross hatch knurling. cuts 10/2 romex decently but that's about the limit. time will tell on the durability but seems to be well made. I'm happy and liked it more than the bigger milwaukee 7 in 1 competitor.
