I use these strippers for fire alarm work. They get the job done but they do feel a little small in my hand. Other than that no complaints.

I really like the feel and performance of this tool.

They do their job very well. The wires are a clean strip every time. I know that they are compact and it’s nice if you need to strip in a tight area but they are almost to compact for big hands. It doesn’t make them unusable at all I just prefer a bigger handle.

I would highly recommend these wire strippers to anyone. They are compact, light weight and get the job done right the first time. The handles are very comfortable and allow you to grip without tearing your hands up.

I’ve never owned a pair of strippers for fine gauge stranded wire that didn’t cause some breakage of outer strands, so I was skeptical that these would be any different at first. However, after a week of use in some electronics repair and general work around the shop, these live up to the promise.I used these across a number of applications, from ballast replacement in light fixtures, to replacing some wires with stiff sheathing in some old machinery. In every case, the sheathing was cleanly cut without nicking any of the wire strands, making for a clean, solid connection.The features of these strippers make them easy for all-day use. The hinge was a little stiff on first use, but after a while loosened enough for the spring to open the tool with ease every time. Not having to add extra effort to open the jaws in between use significantly reduced the strain of repetitive use.The only downside i could see would be the handle length. For someone with larger hands, the tool could feel a bit small. Overall, though, I would recommend this tool for any electrician working on machine or motor repair, and especially low-voltage or data work. Excellent product!

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!!!

I do a lot of work with fine wire as a model builder. This stripper worked well on all sizes that I tried it on. It was a clean cut on 28-gauge wire, using the 26-gauge slot. I stripped 22-gauge and 20-gauge wire with ease without cutting any of the conductor strands. It’s just the right size to be comfortably used. It’s sharp and cuts just the insulation.

Southwire’s compact wire strippers has a nice double dipped grip and the stripper is made of heavy duty stainless steel. The tip has a great tip for looping wire and a sharp cutting edged shear. This wire stripper cuts and strips 16 AWG stranded wire up to 26 AWG. This wire stripped has a built in locking lever which locks or opens with ease. Fits nicely in your hand for easy stripping of stranded wire.

This wire stripper is the best one I’ve ever had. The handle is soft and comfortable and fits neatly into your hand. The cutting edge is sharp making using it a breeze. I also like the clip which holds the tool closed when finished and of course it’s spring loaded into the opened position ready for action. I would highly recommend this tool is cool

Great for small wires. I didn’t realize what I was missing out on. I’ve been using a twenty year old pair of wire strippers and needed something for smaller gauge wires. This is great on my hands to have slightly padded grips. Thick stainless steel construction gives it a nice solid feel. It cuts so clean and sharp. I look forward to doing more projects so I can use these.

Excellent quality and you don’t lose strands. Wires strip true to size marked on the strippers unlike some others. They are great for small stuff like 16awg panel wiring and beldens
