This stripper is sharp and cuts wires smooth and fast…I have Knipex strippers that dull way to fast
Best strippers……sorry wire strippers ive ever worked with
These are the best strippers I’ve ever used. Worth the price.
Best wire strippers I’ve ever owned! They are cheaper than knipex but feel better in your hand and do the exact same thing. I’m an industrial electrician I absolutely abuse these things and they hold up very well. Go figure it’d be channel lock to figure out how to make a good pair of strippers that included a spring. Very nice CL very nice.
Adding a stripping notch for 10 AWG stranded wire would make the strippers handle everything I need to strip. There is a problem with the quality of the grooves on one side of the grasping plier tips. The grooves on one side of the tips is not as deep as the other and the pliers overall provide less grip because of it.
