  • Knipex did it again
Style: Comfort Grip Pattern Name: Stripper
I am an aircraft mechanic and third world house electrician. These are by far the nicest strippers and cable cutters I have ever used. The unique ridged design of the strippers makes it very easy to hit the right size without having to read the gauge size every time. The cutter section is very sharp and strong. I wouldn’t try to cut a nail or piano wire, but for electrical wires and cables it works very well. Highly recommend for anyone who is doing more than occasional electrical work. Well worth the knipex price. ... show more

  • Great product!
Style: Standard Grip Pattern Name: Stripper
If you like to work with high quality tools that feel good in the hand and perform as expected, spend a little extra and buy Knipex. I have started replacing many of my pliers for Knipex brand equivalents and couldn't be happier. My opinion they are worth the spend.

  • Slices through screws like butter
Style: Comfort Grip Pattern Name: Stripper
These are excellent combination pliers for what I do, test fixture assembly. I can strip wire with these, grip things like connectors and screws, and the screw cutters actually work very well. I was using the screw cutters on some crimpers, which have been fine for soft metal such as brass or aluminum and maybe low hardness steel, but it just bent a medium hardness steel screw. These sliced right through it like nothing and I didn't need to thread anything. This is very useful for me, because sometimes I need to make mechanical alterations to the loadboard that require me to trim screws, or I'm just not given the right screws in the first place. ... show more

  • Perfect Strippers
Style: Comfort Grip Pattern Name: Stripper
I bought these for my boyfriend (electrician) and he loves them. He’s talked to me about them for about 45 minutes and had me try them out and everything. This was his favorite bday gift. Came in perfect condition.

  • A must have
Style: Comfort Grip Pattern Name: Stripper
No matter what trade you're in, if you're going to be working with wire, this tool will come in handy. You'd be able to strip wire (I've stripped 10 guage down to 18 guage) without a problem. You can make joints with the same tool just as easily so you won't have to grab your linemans or whatever else.. These have a nice grip, and don't weigh much, the ergonomics fit great in my hands.. After having them for about 2 weeks, they got rained on and developed an expected amount of oxidation, but didn't negatively effect the performance. I've dropped them, cut MC (12/2), and even used the screw cutting feature and they're holding up after a few months of every day use. The only gripe I have is that sometimes the cutters need to be hyperextended to be able to fit around certain things like the MC I mentioned, but that's not typical for it's use and I'm still glad I have them. A bit pricier than others, but well worth it due to its design, speed, and wire stripping ease. Don't pass this up.. I promise you'll love them.. ... show more

  • Amazing
Style: Comfort Grip Pattern Name: Stripper
Pros: Very sharp, not needing to thread in screws to cut them is amazing, the style of the cutters gives you extra leverage, you can easily twist solid wire. Cons: if you use heavily and/or twist with them they start to squeak, and it’s the worst sound I’ve ever heard (this can be fixed by oiling). DO NOT MESS WITH THE HINGE SCREW. YOU WILL NEVER GET THE TORQUE CORRECT ... show more

  • New overpriced, maybe too good for even the pros.
Style: Comfort Grip Pattern Name: Stripper
Nice tool. I am fond of the lock. the non lever type is not obtrusive. That is good. The blades are thick and the knives sharp. I don't think it fits stranded wire too well. Lots of nicks if using 12/12 Lots of tearing insulation if using 10/12 i.e., the solid hole, same gauge is too small, the next size up is too large. It would be nice if the tip was crosshatched. That way the twisted wires would not splay when twisted. I have been using an Irwin pair that works great except for the narrow tip that splayed the wires. I used the Irwin to strip then crosshatched duckbills to twist. Two tools, With this one I was trying to get down to one. Didn't work., Maybe I can get a diamond file and cut crosshatching in. We will see. Anyhow, these are built well. Maybe overbuilt since the others cost 1/4th as much so you can replace them often and not come close to the cost of this one. However, if this lasts 4x longer before going dull or opening up even more (which would make it pretty much useless for stranded, unless you want nicked and damaged wire, it might be OK. Again, We will see. I'll give them a good month of work before I decide to go back to before and carry an additional tool or not. ... show more
