Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Enjoyable Tool to Use! Just used these strippers to install pressure sensors on a remotely managed water system. Stripper portion performed perfectly - very sharp, cuts through insulation easily, and the openings seemed to be sized perfectly (you'd be surprised at those that are not...). The cutter feature worked far better than I had expected, excellent, in fact. And the handles are very comfortable, which make these great for long days of installs. I am VERY impressed.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Cr?p defined as poor qualith I purchased the S1018STR wire stripper last year when I was rewiring a house I was rehabbing with # 12 & 14 copper. These strippers did not last the job not summer before the cutting blades burred or were dinged bad enough that I could not cut the copper. nor close the cutters. I did not try to file the burrs down if they are stainless. I did not cut anything other than copper wire. I am not inexperienced.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Compact and light. With so many types and manufacturers of hand tools for the electrical industry out there, I was reluctant to try another pair of wire strippers. But to my surprise, this wire stripper is the best that I have used so far in my 30+ years in the trade. It stripped the insulation off of the wire with precision. Others would have issues as far as "cleanly" removing the insulation. Great investment.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Compact wire stripper Like the positive spring back, positive wire stripping and cutting, I wish it had the screw cutters with thread. Also not a fan of the compact handle, I get the fact it is a compact stripper, but to small for my hands and will be more difficult to find in the pouch. If your intention for use is for the casual user ie homeowner then it will probably pass. I assume it is a cheaper product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Don't know what else to say except that these are great. I use them for work at public utility. I use them on a daily basis it leaves a clean wire strip which works great with crimps. Also very easy on the hands. The only drawback is the 24 awg is sometimes hit and miss but this is not a deal breaker for me. Would highly recommend especially if you do a lot of wire stripping.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Marginally adequate This wire stripper works very well for cutting & stripping wire. However it is limited to just that, whereas I have used similar tools that also crimp and can shear machine screws. I like the compact size, though this sacrifices some leverage. And the handles could stand to have a little more cushion for comfort. Also would prefer American made rather than made in China.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome stripper! Great pair of wire strippers! I'm not usually a fan of combination tools but I like that the wire stripper also has a cable cutter, well most do nowadays, but this is a bit more heavy duty than other strippers of this size able to cut coax cable with ease. It was very comfortable in the hand and very light in my tool belt. A winner!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Feature Trying these because I have liked the other Southwire tools I have and because of the stainless steel construction. The idea of being rust proof was enough to sell me. I must say they are very comfortable to use also. Although I haven't had them very long I look forward to using them for quite some time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very Handy Little Tool I bought this compact wire stripper because I'm tired of using diagonal pliers to strip insulation and not getting consistent results. This little tool makes getting a consistent insulation strip each and every time super easy. A most handy and welcome addition to the tool kit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome performing wire stripper This pair of wire strippers performs right up there with any other name brands! The price point is a great value compared to the competition. The spring assist on the handles pushes this guy to the top when comparing price, features and performance!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Tool Very impressed with these wire strippers out of the package. Handles are very comfortable, strippers were sharp and tight. I tried them on various size wires that the strippers were designed to strip and cut with absolutely no problems.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 4 out of 5 ,needs more i liked the product for most part. cuts great. also cuts many wires at a time (8). like the fact the spring will not fall out. like compact style. lock needs work, gets in way. they also could be better with 6-32 8-32 screw cutters

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Improved Features The extra insulation on the handles make it very comfortable to use, the pliers grip on the end of the tool is a nice feature making this a multi use tool, and the stainless steel finish makes it easier to read the numbers on it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Tool Excellent Materials The tool is made of very durable materials. Wire strippers are stainless steel, the double deep handles allow for a firm and comfortable grip. The tool has a spring loaded self-opening action mechanism with a lockable feature.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from working tool very simple yet well designed, works on both stranded and solid. and cuts 10 to 20 awg wire. love the spring loaded handle you can use it with one hand. very comfortable fit. and being stainless steel blades they shouldn't rust.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good fit and seem well built I haven't had these all that long but so far they are good strippers. They are well marked easy to identify the markings. Fit great in my hands. The spring is handy too. So far I like them and they are fair priced as well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from great product I've had many of these in the past,this particular tool is by far the lightest, most easiest most ergonomical one handed unlocking cutters I've used,I use this tool daily and it stands up to the daily punishments.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good basic wire stripper A well-made tool for stripping insulation from common wire gauge sizes. Straight cutters are sharp and cut cleanly. Spring-loaded handles are the standard length and may be a little short for some.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great tool for the size This tool is a tough little addition to my tool belt. It is small enough to fit in your pocket without being bulky. It fits in your hand nicely and is strong enough to tackle all the wire sizes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect Size and Comfort This wire stripper is the perfect size for the job - nice and compact with a solid, comfortable feel. The spring action is heavy duty, making this feel like an excellent tool that will last.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome tool. I got the strippers a bit ago and finally had a chance to use them. Did an excellent job of stripping the wire but not cutting through. I would recommend these to family and friends.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Well designed The large comfortable handles provide a great grip and fit my hand nicely, the wire cutting edge has a slight curve to it and seems to make cutting larger gage wire easy.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great little stripper. This is a great stripper. It doesn’t have the features of a screw cutter and crimper but often times I prefer to have seperate tools for those specific tasks.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Tool! Received this as a sample tool and love them. The range of wire that it strips, plus it covers both solid and stranded makes carrying one tool possible.
Date published: 2017-01-23
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Solid strippers!!! My only real complaint is the handle lock design. It tends to lock when I'm using the pliers. Aside from that, they work great! And I love the size!

I risk feeling dumb when I get the answer, but why is the purpose of those holes which show awg stranded and solid?

Asked by: Home wrecker
This is to let you know what gauge each hole is for solid or stranded wire.
