An excellent sharp tool for stripping the thinnest wire.

I like these wire strippers. It's very well built and will take the thinnest of wires (up to 26 gauge I think). I use it all the time! It's spicy. Even the flat surface is sharp and is great for stripping flat stranded wire like those used in LED Christmas lights. I was able to easily disassemble the 4-wire board by separating the small RGB LED boards for other uses! I love such great practical products as opposed to cheap fakes.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Perfect Stripper on Strippers

They are ideal for stripping very small wires. He stripped the hull very precisely without cutting the strands of stranded wire. The wire stripper is also sized to fit in your hand compared to multi gauge wire strippers which are heavier, longer and easier to cut. Be careful when ordering, there are different diameter wire strippers on the same page, make sure you choose the correct wire diameter range you need. They appear to be very well made and recommend them over single wire strippersโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Fits

Household Electrician Strippers

First of all I like it, as a main member I delivered them in 2 days. I'm a licensed electrician and have had several large houses and my old ones were rusty and slow to service. They strip double 14g or 12g wires like a hot knife through butter. Each assistant I let try on my extra pair buys a pair for themselves. I used to have to special order them from local electric companies, 2 at a time, and sometimes it took a week. I've had my last pair of these for over a year and use them every dayโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy Installation
Cons
  • Negative Gift

I'm not 100% sure it's Klein Tools

I've been buying Klein Tools for over 20 years and even selling Klein Tools for about 15 years at another job. I couldn't swear but I'm 99% sure these are NOT new or fake. Companies like Klein don't do 'wholesale' and if you order in bulk they will be shipped in retail packaging. They had no packaging, the metal either looks like cheap metal or they were treated in some way. I got 2 at the same time, spring tension is different on both pairs. The grips feel very "rubbery" and almost feel likeโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Everything is great

Handles not as pictured but still great cutter

My Klein 11046 Wire Stripper/Cutter Red 6 1/4" Arrived on time and in good condition. This Klein looks like the one I have it is but not. My old cutter's handles are shiny and slippery due to its shiny finish. The new ones I received are matte red, a bit thicker and the material is rubber which holds up better in use, my fingers don't slip at all. It says Stripping and cutting: stranded wire 16-26 AWG (1.0-0.14mmยฒ) but it will also cut HARD wire of the same gauge which is between 16 and 26โ€ฆ

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • dull packaging

I love these wire strippers

You'll always find a few of these tools, as well as Klein tools D275-5 Lightweight flush cutter, up to 16 AWG, tool control handles and heat treated for durability https://smile .amazon.com/dp/B000GTMZHG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_RFzeFbTXRJD6J) in my little tool case. They are sharp, precise and make stripping very easy. The buttons should be open so you can quickly move on to the next cable after resetting. A true one-handed work that requires no extra skill or movement. Shaped handles areโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Low repairability
