Rated 5 out of 5 by Rvt from Works great use them daily I use these almost daily and they work great on all types of wire. Ive tried useing cheaper ones that were of like design and ive used far more expensive pistol grip from "snap off" with no luck. These irwins, however, get the job done. Im an rv technition, i use them on everything from romex to speaker wire and even some heavier gauge stuff coming off of gen sets. They save time and dont damage the wire. The crimp end works great too, not like those cheap red handled ones we have all had the pleasure of using. If they arent stripping then they need to be adjusted. its not that difficult.

Rated 5 out of 5 by CNJK from Good pliers, if you know how to use them. Felt the need to leave a review here due to the low rating I'm seeing... I've had mine for a few years now and have used them on wires as small as 22 gauge and as big as 10 gauge. You can use the yellow nub to adjust how long the strip will be (or rotate it out of the way). You can also adjust the screw to help with fine-tuning the grip for stripping. I have found that if you try to strip slowly, it doesn't always work fully. Not really often that it comes up, and it's not really an "issue" as I look at it. Showed a couple of friends how to use them and now they own their own pairs! Overall, I recommend it. I wanted some ever since a former coworker used them in audio installs and I'm glad I got them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bill from Strips everything I need Why did I give it 5 stars? It strips everything I've thrown at it. From 10 gauge to 18 gauge wiring. I even stripped the slick CAT5E casing around the 4 pair wire. Yes I had to cram it in and it took about 4 times but it chewed on it and stripped it! Next, I was able to strip individual wires from the underlying pairs. Not one strand of Copper was wasted. I tested this several times. A tip: There's a small knob on the stripper. Crank it right and tighten by hand and the tool will get a great grip on the wire. Awesome.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Rick52768 from Not for all wire types, but hands down the best! Just with all tools, there is not a one size fits all tool without some limitations. It will not strip tool wire which is the cheap type of wiring that is oil and gasoline proof, also used in wiring electrical service panels (not romex). Those type of wires are very slick and have a clear jacket outside of the hard vinyl insulation. It is not very good at stripping wire above 12GA and it is not so good at stripping very small wires in 24GA range but that depends on the insulation, more than the size. Anything else and this is the best automatic stripper I have ever used in 25 years of electronic work. We even use it in a pneumatic operated device that will accept different tools and it works flawlessly. Sounds like lots of negatives, but I just want to point out what it cannot do correctly. For all other wire types and sizes look no farther.

Rated 4 out of 5 by KALW from Great for stripping wires, not the best crimper Good for the price, great for stripping automotive type wires but not the best for crimping, you can cut wires too. You need a lot of room to crimp, it is done in between the handles, so although you can use these as a one tool does it all it is not preferred. I bought this for frequently stripping of wires for automotive wiring repair which it works great but it does not perform like I need for all of my crimping, most of which is butt splices in tight spots for truck marker lights. Also when crimping I can feel the tool wiggle as if it might break, so I don't think it will hold up to lots of use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ireland Bound from Best striper I ever bought. I just go this home and tried it on a 24 AWG stranded wire. Fantastic it removed the insulation without even trying. I am into model railroading and am not convinced that suit case connectors are the way to go, so call me old fashioned I am soldering from now on and this will make the job much simpler.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Ed007 from Built to Pass The plastic depth gauge broke within a week on two pairs of these strippers. Don’t expect to consider the depth gauge an actual feature. If you plan on using these for 12-14 gauge solid wire professionally, expect them to last a few days. If you plan on using these at home, use them sparingly only on special occasions as not to wear them out. The “adjustable gripper” looses its grip and the cutter side just pulls the entire wire through, without stripping anything but your money. The inaccessible “cutters” placed inside the handles is more of a crimper instead of a cutter. These are designed to look nice to sell but not to use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Skip from Best Pair I've Ever Owned These are hands down the best pair of wire strippers i have ever owned... the only thing it cant do is operate hands-free... it gets a front row spot in my Kobalt Tool Box every time!!!
