I'll like the spring when it opens up. But my next question is, where's the clip to make it close? Where it doesn't stay wide open?

Look before you buy

Would Not Recommend

Be very cautious when buying these wirecutters. They work fine for diy hanging of light fixtures but they aren't serious wire strippers. Also, LOOK CLOSELY at the tool before you go to the register. I didn't and did not realize until I went to use them, after tossing the packaging of course, that they had mm on the right side and not the stranded wire gauge which is 2 more than solid wire (the left side).

Works well for small home projects

I bought this for wiring electrical fixtures in my home. It worked well overall, the spring on the strippers is my main concern. I don think it will last more than a year, but time will tell.
