Overview
Notched stripping holes in the jaws bite the insulation to the gauge you pick, and a cutting edge trims copper wire, either single core or stranded. Plastic handles with an ergonomic shape cover a metal body.
Covering two gauge ranges and cutting in one tool saves a trip to the toolbox for small wiring work. The limit is detail on cutting capacity, since the listing does not say the largest wire the blades handle.
Who it's for
Electricians, technicians and DIY wirers working with common house wire gauges. Those cutting thick cable or battery lead should use a larger cutter, since the listing gives no capacity figure.
Pros and cons
- Two stripping gauge ranges
- Cuts single core and stranded wire
- Light enough for one hand
- Standards compliance noted
- Cutting capacity not listed
- Jaw style not described
- No spring noted
Performance notes
Stripping holes are sized to the conductor, so the right gauge notch cuts the insulation without nicking the copper. The cutting edge works by leverage from the handles, which limits the thickness it handles. A clean pull completes the strip.
