Automatic vs. manual: This is a major distinction between wire strippers. Automatic strippers are designed to cut the insulation and pull it away in a single step. Manual strippers take more time and effort because you’ll need to yank it off the wire with your other hand. The downside of automatic strippers is that they often break smaller gauge wires, so manual strippers are better for delicate wiring work.

Handle grip: A comfortable grip is important if you’ll be using the wire strippers for long periods of time. A poor grip can lead to blisters and cramps by the end of the day. This stripper is designed to both cut and strip 8 to 20 AWG-sized solid wire and stranded wires between 10 and 22 AWG. It’s able to strip smaller gauge wire with a minimum of damage because of the precision-machined stripper holes. It also uses a tension loader that doesn’t need to clamp the wire with excessive force, which also helps avoid breaking wires. Klein Tools’ 11055 Wire Cutter and Stripper strips solid 10 to 18 AWG wires and 12 to 20 AWG stranded wires.

Our goal is to provide one stop place for electricians and electrical contractors, but we are happy to help other clients too. Spring-loaded: A spring-loaded handle is another feature that makes it more comfortable to use wire strippers for lengthy work sessions. This is especially useful if you want to be able to use the tool with just one hand. The main purpose of wire strippers is to make it simple to remove the plastic insulation from the end of a cut piece of electrical wire. This is necessary to connect the wire to a terminal or to splice two wires together. Many wire strippers will also cut wire, so you don’t need to switch between tools when cutting and stripping numerous lengths of wire at a time. This highly precise tool is made from steel reinforced with chromium and vanadium, so it will maintain its edge and accuracy for years as long as you treat it right. It's designed with a narrow head that easily reaches into tight spots, and the handle is comfortable and easy to grip. The tool weighs less than half a pound is just over 7 inches in length, so it won't take up too much room in your tool box. The term “wire stripper” refers to a type of hand tool used by production workers and electricians to assemble and repair wiring.The Irwin Vise-Grip Self-Adjusting Wire Stripper takes the guesswork out of stripping wire: Just insert your wire into the jaws, squeeze, and voila! Perfect stripped wire without a bit of effort on your part. You can strip insulated wires that are 10 to 24 AWG, and cut or crimp insulated or non-insulated wires as well. There's also a stop setting to control the length of your strips. Note that for 22- or 24-AWG wires, there's a micro-adjust knob for the most precise performance in stripping these very thin wires. Automatic or self-adjusting wire strippers are the fastest type of wire stripper, but also generally the most expensive. These tools “sense” the gauge of wire being stripped, thanks to small spring-loaded teeth in the blade, and automatically adjust to the correct size. That means you don't have to have a separate wire stripper for a range of wire gauges, nor do you need to spend time adjusting the tool to your wire size. Wire gauges: Smaller wire strippers will have notches for the most common wire gauges, while larger strippers will handle the less common sizes, too. Make sure to compare the gauges a pair of strippers can fit to the wire sizes you know you’ll be cutting. Klein’s 11063W model is an automatic wire stripper that can remove up to an inch of insulation with a single motion.
