Review on Klein Tools 1019 Connectors Terminals by Jason Burnside

Revainrating 1 out of 5

stripes, but the cutting ability is terrible.

I bought these primarily for the sheer number of stripping options, primarily for small control wires and cables. I also appreciate that they are made in the USA and appreciate most Klein hand tools. As a licensed installer I work with many industrial motor controllers. These wire strippers are great for regular power cords and small wires in cords. Unfortunately they will not cut pure stranded wire over 18 AWG. Wire cutters cut some small strands of wire, but mostly bend them. In addition, they do not cut ripcord fibers in cables. Almost rub them. This is a really disappointing KLEIN product made in the USA. I may have gotten a bad pair but I wouldn't buy them again.

Pros
  • Nicely packaged
Cons
  • Socket required
