I don’t own a many cable strippers. The ones I have used are made for specific kinds of cable, so they are of limited utility, or they won’t cut through substantially different jacket thicknesses, or if they can be used on multiple diameters and jacket thicknesses, they can cut so deep they score the conductors. This little gadget was a real surprise. This stripper can handle a variety of jacket thicknesses and cable diameters, and does not damage the conductors. It is designed to strip CAT3, CAT5/5e and CAT6/6 twisted pair networking cable. The tool has a side mounted cutter with ears that is designed to make a lengthwise slit in the cable jacket (you put the cable between the ears, press down on it to engage the blade, and slide the cable out while maintaining pressure) and the blue plunger has a cutter mounted inside to make radial cuts as you spin the stripper around the cable. I had no problems with CAT3 and 5 cable, making clean cuts and stripping off jacket ~3″ at a time, and I usually didn’t bother with splitting the jacket lengthwise. I had no CAT6 available, but I did have some scrap cable (Belden 8451 2C22AWG Shielded and 9536 6C24AWG Shielded, Alpha 1298C 8C22AWG Shielded) that it is not designed to be used on. Every instance produced consistent cuts to the cable jacket without damage to the wires underneath. For the thicker PVC jackets I had to ring them several times, and sometimes pull the plunger out a little, but still didn’t damage the cable underneath, or the foil shield or drain wire. The tool works well, better than I expected. It is very easy to use, and also seems solidly built, so I think it should last a while. If you run a lot of comm & data cable for a living, I’d recommend it. My only beef is, given the cost of the tool (it’s not expensive, but it ain’t a throwaway), and the fact that the knives are about the same size and thickness as Xacto blades, I’d like to have them made user replaceable.

Great tool. It saved me a lot of time in my installations.

I used this for wiring some internet items for a friend and I liked that you have different tools in one. The finger hole to rotate it is a nice size. A nice thing about it the tool adjust to different size cables. Klein tools make a high quality tool that will last a long time.the steel blades will last a long time for me. There is very clear and easy to use instructions.

I have run some CAT6 cable to my Televisions and our family room where the gaming occurs. I figured it would improve the speed and quality of the internet to get it off of WiFi. Hooking up the connectors was a pain and I never got around to finishing the project. I got this tool and tried it and it made stripping the wires quick and easy. I didn’t realize how much time I was wasting fighting with trying to strip the wires. I was able to finish the project in much less time than expected.

This Twisted Pair Radial Stripper by Klein Tools strips CAT3, CAT5/5e, and CAT 6/6A.The high-carbon steel blade auto adjusts for precise stripping without endangering the internal conductors, as may happen when using a utility or other knife to cut the wire jacket.The finger loop design allows easy operation by enabling controlled rotation of the tool.

Great little tool! I make Jewelry from copper wire strands and this little tool is a Godsend in allowing me to Strip away the insulation on Scrap wire lengths that an electrician friend keeps for me. It makes quick work of a job that use to take a lot of time working with exacto knife and utility blades… (a lot safer as well!). Another Great little tool in my tool box!

The Klein Twisted Pair Radial Stripper produced consistent cuts to the cable jacket without damage to the wires underneath. There are two areas for stripping the cable jacket. The top area is primarily used to slice a jacket lengthwise mid cable. This same function can be performed at the end of the cable or the cable can be turned 90 degrees and spun 260 against the blade to cut the entire jacket for stripping. I found this worked best by laying the cable on top of the blade then using one thumb to press cable into blade while using my other hand to pull the cable across the blade. The amount of pressure one applies directly impacts the cut quality. The second area for stripping involves depressing the plunger, inserting the cable into the nest, releasing the plunger which applies the correct amount of pressure to the cable against the blade and finally spinning the tool around the cable one or two times to cut the jacket. Afterwards, one pushes the plunger, removes the cable and pulls off the jacket. Even if I went more than two turns, I never scored the conductors under the jacket.I think this is the easiest to use cable stripper of all the ones I own. My other units can’t handle different thickness cables or can cut too deep and score the conductors. This one can handle a variety of thicknesses and does not hurt the conductors. Product improvements I would like to see are a mechanism to apply correct pressure to the top jacket slitting slot and replaceable blades.

Very easy to use, only cuts to the proper depth. Like the finger hole feature which enables one to make a quick and easy circling of the wires, cutting just the insulation at the correct depth.Fits into pocket or pouch if needed. Has no poking corners or projections, making it more comfortable to carry when needed, as I tend to often carry small tools like this one, when using to install wire.
