Review on πŸ”Œ Klein Tools K1412 Wire Cutter/Stripper for Solid Copper Wire, Dual NM Cable Stripper, Cuts and Strips 12/14 AWG by Mufti Capers

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great tool (for the price), worst packaging

Do you know how Revain markets certain products in non-irritating packaging? Well, this tool comes in a package that's as opposite as it gets. It comes in one of those heat-sealed plastic packages that require a Sawzall and a lot of hexes to open. Okay, maybe not that bad, but definitely a box opener and maybe a cut finger. Seriously Klein these aren't for retail where theft proof packaging is needed, can't you just make other packaging for ecommerce retailers? with ease and does a fantastic job stripping 12 and 14 ga wire. I've seen some reviews mentioning the handlebars falling off or the jaws shifting, but luckily I didn't experience that. Considering we're talking about an instrument that costs in the mid 20's, I'm not sure I'd complain that much if it failed me in a year, but I can understand that I would want it to be of high quality with the name Klein and Made in the USA on it. I would have paid more for a higher quality option if I felt it would serve me better, but so far there has been no reason to. Of course I will update the review if it breaks prematurely or is annoying.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Mostly good, but...
