Wire Strippers

[RussTJ]

My favorite set of cutters. Channellock 447. The angle allows for close cuts.

I've had a pair of the ones in the original post and they were great but I've found better.

I've had a set of these that I bought from my local Matco distributor for about 4 years now and they are awesome. I can strip 3 wires at a time quickly and consistently with these and they've also got a cutter in the handle. They automatically adjust to wire size and NEVER cut the strands inside. I've seen them as cheap as 10 bucks online.

As a testament to their durability please note that I use these almost daily and they still work as good as when I bought them. View attachment 18716

Plus 1 used these for over 15 years too prolly bought them from Matco also. I am actually surprised at how well they still work after all these years, but they were not cheap. Worth it though I am finding out.

These self adjusting strippers are amazingly helpful. MAC makes a great pair as well, a little pricier than Klein, but just depends on what the user likes, like most brands.

People have posted they can use a simple stripper or even their bare hands (exaggerating), and if you are stripping one wire I agree that this tool is overkill, but if you are stripping many wires, like when I ran all new speaker wire in the Jeep, this tool was so helpful that it paid for itself.

Also, if you need to tap into an existing electrical wire to send power somewhere else, like an overhead light, this tool can easily make a mid-wire splice so can add a wire tap.
