WilFiks Automatic Wire Stripper Multi Tool: A Mixed Bag

The WilFiks Automatic Wire Stripper 3-In-1 Multi Tool is a versatile tool designed for stripping, cutting, and crimping wires. It features a self-adjusting cable cutter and crimper plier for trimming copper and aluminum wires. The ergonomic handle ensures a comfortable grip, making it easy to use for extended periods. While this multi-tool is packed with features, its performance is a mixed bag. The stripping and cutting functionality is excellent and works flawlessly on various types of wires. However, when it comes to crimping, the tool falls short. The crimping jaws don't provide enough pressure to make a strong and secure connection, resulting in loose terminations. Furthermore, the self-adjusting mechanism is a double-edged sword. While it saves you time by automatically adjusting to the wire's thickness, it also means that you have less control over the pressure applied to the wire. This can lead to the wire getting crushed or damaged during the stripping process, especially when working with delicate wires. Overall, the WilFiks Automatic Wire Stripper Multi Tool is a decent tool for hobbyists or occasional use. However, professionals or those who rely on perfect crimps for their work may want to look elsewhere. At its price point, it offers a reasonable value but does not compete with higher-end tools' quality and performance.

Pros
  • Versatile Functionality: The WilFiks Automatic Wire Stripper 3-In-1 Multi Tool is designed to effortlessly strip, cut, and crimp wires in one tool. Its self-adjusting cable cutter and crimper pliers make trimming copper and aluminum wires a breeze. With this tool, you can save time and rely on its versatile functionality to get the job done
Cons
  • Limited range of compatibility: The WilFiks Automatic Wire Stripper is designed to handle copper and aluminum wires, which may not be suitable for those who frequently work with other types of wires or cables
