Low Voltage Strippers (Small Gauge)
I love the strippers! I bought a pair from another company that does up to 22 gauge because that is the smallest I could find in box stores. I need to be able to strip 24 and 26 gauge as a netwrok and controls electrician. You guys know about trying to strip Cat5 and 6 or BacNet and Lon wire! Literally impossible without these strippers! I get a nice clean cut on my jacket and a perfect length on my stranded wire for termination! I actually lost these yesterday in a ceiling and I was literally "lost" without them! I spent the next hour and a half searching and re-tracing my steps before I found them! Great little strippers!!!

Smooth cutting
I received my wire strippers a few weeks ago and on the first day I had to use them. I had to replace a 25/20 com cable, and the very next day I had to replace a 18/25 com cable. The wire strippers fit comfortably in my hand and the spring action allowed me to use them one handed. It stripped the small Gage wire easily, even cutting through the stubborn inner polyester wrap, which most other strippers I owned would never do. I'm very pleased with this product and would recommend it to others.

Awesome little strippers!
No more stripping ballast wires with the cutting jaws! I was a little skeptical when I first saw these strippers. I've never owned a pair of small gauge strippers that didn't "ring" the copper creating a breaking point when the wire nut was twisted on. These work absolutely perfectly, every single time. I'm a huge fan. There are more and more Southwire tools making their way into my everyday service bag. Way to go guys! A godsend for ballast and control cabinets.

strips really good
I got these and they are exactly what I need. I am a AV tech and work a lot with 20 AWG and smaller. These stripped stranded 22 AWG microphone cable very well. The strip was very clean and didn't impact any of the strands. Just to see what would happen I stripped cat 5 cable, and it worked great. I know you usually don't strip back cat 5, but it is nice to know I now have a tool that can, and dose it clean.
The handles got wet one day and they wiped off great, and were not slippery after wiping. The only downside that I have is that for me if I were to use these all day I feel like my hand would get fatigued due to the straight handles. maybe that is just me saying I like the curved handles better than straight. I showed them to a couple co-workers and they all liked them and thought that they worked great as well. All in all a great set of strippers for the small wires. They are defiantly going in my go to bag to replace my old pair.

Great dedicated strippers for data cables
Recently received these strippers that range from 16-26 AWG. They work great on twisted pair 16 AWG stranded for pcl work or Cat 5 and 6. They feel good in my hand to use but I will admit the handles felt like they could be a little bit longer if you have large hands like I do but despite that I was able to use them comfortable in short order.

Like the stainless steel
I've been needing a pair of strippers for small gauge wire for some time now. I love the stainless steel construction, as my tools see many different environments and corrosion from moisture can be a problem. The tool feels a little small in my hands but that's just me being used to larger hand tools. Overall good pair of wire strippers.

Well made precision tool
I have several other wire stripper, they worked fine for my daily need. This Compact stranded wire stripper also met my expectation. It worked fine and cut sharp and precisely. The design is good, I had a good grip when using it and that supported a nice and clean cut. I would recommend this product to my friends.

Great tool!!
Southwire tools are great tools but these compact stranded wire strippers are amazing! They are easy to use and really easy to get into tight spaces. My husband used them at work while building a stereo kit for the saunas they build. Its a great tool and I definitely recommend buying it.

What does AWG STRANDED mean, why or how do I use the 2 holes and the tip is for use for wiring as well????
Asked by: Lostone
Stranded is for stranded wire. The large holes are for wire looping. Thank you.
