These wire strippers do not have a lock to keep them closed. Bad design. I didn’t realize when I bought them
Delta Rodriguez (verified owner) –
It is a great tool by far but if it had a locking clip to keep them closed it would perfectly fit in my Klein pouch/backpack

This pliers has a lot of features, like any good tool should have. Primarily an electrician’s wire stripper, also can cut wire and romex, has a wire-looping hole feature for making bends to fit around screws, and a broad knurled pliers on the gripping end. The handles have a nice plastic ergonomic design and feel good in the hand. One feature that I really like is the threaded machine-screw cutter for the two common sizes used in electrical finish work: 6-32 and 8-32. There is a spring opening feature which separates the jaws, which I’m not sure that I like yet since there is no way to lock it closed, and it seems to make it more difficult to slip back into the tool belt. I was a bit disappointed in a couple finish items, which I almost deducted a star for from in my rating. The jaws end seems to be a bit mis-shaped, as though it wasn’t cast or ground properly, and the large cutters had a rough knurl on them. This was easy enough to remove with a few light strokes of a file, but it shouldn’t have been there at all on a USA made Klein tool. Neither of these is really a problem with usability, it’s just that I have come to expect perfection with Klein tools. Overall, I found that this is a nice heavy-duty tool, doesn’t become mis-aligned when twisting or pulling at an angle, and because of the nice large jaws, I think that I will use these often in place of my lineman’s pliers. Its always nice when I can use one tool instead of two or three.

like all Klein tools are made for the professional. They are by far the best

Other than being a little longer with solid blue molded grips I don’t see much difference in this pair and the other heavy duty 8/10 strippers with the blue and white molded grips that came out last year or so. One thing I dont like about these is the lack of a way to lock them closed like the others have. In its place is just a hole…these use that hole to make a loop in wire. If you are familiar with the original Heavy duty strippers, these are exactly the same with the minute differences mentioned.

I received these from Klein as part of there Klein crusaders program in return I will provide an honest review these heavy-duty wire strippers. I have my likes and dislikes of these pliers. (Dislikes) the spring handles are not my favorite and the width of the tip makes it harder to slide in the back pocket. (Likes) The quality and craftsmanship you get from Klein is there. These pliers are heavy duty and have held up to everything I have put it through so far. I do like the bolt shear on them the only thing I wish they had were connection crimpers

My husband said it works great.

Very good wire stripper and ability to cut off wires. Great investment.

This heavy duty wire stripper is a good choice for the professional and DIY market. It is a solidly built product which is made in the USA. The shear cutting knife cut through three parallel 14 gauge wires without difficulty. I stripped a 14 gauge solid wire then removed more insulation to determine if the copper conductor was nicked. Unfortunately there was a slight nick in the copper which would catch on my fingernail. I used the 6-32 screw shearing mechanism to cut through a screw. It did leave a slight burr but a nut threaded onto it without issue. I was also able to cut through an 8-32 screw without difficulty. The large knurled plier tip is great for twisting wires together, etc. Now I can carry one less tool when working on electrical. I ran into two issues with the tool. 1) There was some debris obscuring the 6-32 hole. I had to run a screw through it to eject the debris. After that it functioned fine. 2) The tool has a spring loaded return to open mechanism. Unfortunately, something is catching or rubbing near the full open location which the spring cannot overcome resulting in the handles stopping 1/4 to 3/8 from fully open. I can pull them apart but I should not have to do so. Overall this is a great tool to carry but given the three minor issues (which might be specific to my tool) of nicking the copper on stripping, debris in the 6-32 hole and the handles not fully opening, I am knocking off one star.

Works well!
Caesar Moen (verified owner) –
These are multi functional pliers great for doing electric wiring
Ethelyn Sanford (verified owner) –
Yes it did meet my expectations.
Ulices Yost (verified owner) –
I was hopping they would be similar to my last pair of 6 in 1 milwaukees but ergonomics are off and not having a lock makes them average.

Great wire twister… Strips wires good. Overall , great tool, staying in my tool pouch…. Solid tool
Abigale Kohler (verified owner) –
I have had the privilege of working with tools before but never like this this is a tool that belongs in everybody’s box if you are an electrician as a landscaper I work with a lot of electricity as much is 600 V I love this tool and so are you you will not regret buying it it’s that good
Zachariah Bode (verified owner) –
I personally don’t like spring loaded tools. I originally bought these for the fat head to twist up taps but, returned them a couple months later when Klein dropped another version which has a crimper instead of the spring & side cutter blades instead of snip blades which I like better. Over all these are great If you like spring loaded snip cutter options.

These wire strippers are honestly the best things ive used. Personally have no complaints about them, having an 18 solid awg and 8 solid awg actually does come in handy alot more than i though, and these are very sturdy and highly recommend them to anybody looking for some quality wire strippers
Kiarra Bruen (verified owner) –
Did exactly what I needed when undertaking a wiring project.

Not bad. There is a spring that opens it but no lock to keep it closed? Probably upgrade soon to a better brand. Something RED
