Review on Linemans Combination Stripper High Leverage NEWACALOX by Michael Rosario

Revainrating 5 out of 5

18AWG Wire Cutting Test

Summary: I've always liked hard chrome finish tools; not as shiny as polished chrome, just as easy to clean after greasy jobs. Test: I bought this primarily as a solar/PV assembly cutter so I tested the cutter on 18AWG stranded copper wire and was very impressed with how cleanly they were cut by cutting the wire; All I can say is that it's the right tool for the job. Don't abuse your tools and they will last longer. Pros: Good fit and finish; hard chrome plating; smooth operation; Good price. Disadvantages: none. Bottom line: $14, rating this 5 stars.

Pros
  • Easy to Use: High leverage design saves you effort when using these pliers, the tool joint has reasonable clearances to reduce friction losses. The wire stripper can be loosened with a screwdriver and readjusted with your finger if misaligned.
Cons
  • A few minor things
