Four times (4X) stronger than existing Klein wire strippers. Klein’s Heavy-Duty Wire Stripper is built with the durability of pliers and the sharpness and precision of a wire stripper. If your like me you can never fully put down your linesman pliers but they can stay in your back pocket or tool pouch a bit longer and just work with a set of Klein’s heavy duty wire strippers and your screwdrivers. You typically only have a few small splices to make up and would prefer to have a set of wire strippers when going through and installing your outlets, switches and lights. Where I see these pliers excelling is on a finish of a house. You simply don’t have the leverage to make a large spice as effectively. I believe the reason they are saying 3 wires max is because they know these pliers can not replace a large set of pliers. They are giving up quite a bit of leverage to a set of 9”linesman pliers. The pliers are designed to splice wires and they say up to 3 wires, you can certainly do more then three but these aren’t the linesman pliers you are used to. The function of a wire stripper, cutter or bolt cutter work as you would expect a Klein to function. What sets this tool apart from other wire strippers is the large plier head. To be able to to strip, cut, splice, and cut 6-33/8-32 bolts. Klein’s heavy duty wire strippers are aiming to be an all around universal set of pliers. Strips 10-18 solid wires and 12-20 strandedĪmerican-made, when you pick these wire strippers up you will feel the weight in your hand and the comfort of the grips.The Klein Heavy Duty Wire Stripper K12055 have made me reconsider this. So they alway sat in the van never to come out unless I needed to cut a 6-32 or 8-32 bolt. Why should I bother carry around another tool. The pliers have always been lousy and my linesman pliers can strip wires almost as quickly. Have a great Friday, peeps.I’m an electrician, and I’ve long thought that wire strippers had very little purpose to me except for when I needed a bolt cutter. You don't want to be carrying two tools to do the same job when you can do it with one from the same manufacturer. Then if you want to strip it it's not great. These, depending what you use them for, obviously just for cutting the cable, great, ten out of then. Personally, I give these a ten out of ten. You've got, just in the handle here, some cutters. If I just just show you, these actually cut the cable as well as strip it. Reason being, these are good for cutting the cables but not good for stripping. Still a nice, neat cut and everything, but personally if I knew about this, I wouldn't buy this. Give it a tug and you've got this exposed bit. But, if you want to then strip it to get the exposed copper, not great. Ultimately for cutting cables, show you how easy that is. Why I didn't know, they're self adjusting, so to expose the bare copper inside for your actual wiring, again put the cable inside. What you do, squeeze it, there's your shiv, pull it off, job done. I'll just show you quickly for the video how it easy, see that's gone in. That probably can be adjusted so, something worth looking into. I've just got a smaller bit for the purpose of the review. Now, I'm not sure if these jaws can go up and down because one thing I've found, with thicker flex, I couldn't get it in. I'll show you literally how easy this is. Not great, you can nick the innards and things like that, then you got to start again. As I said before, normally stripping is with a standard knife. I promised to do a review on behalf of Expert Trades for Tool Talk Reviews, reviewing the Klein Tools cable strippers and cable cutters. Thanks for watching, it's Ben Curry from Electrical Innovations and this has been Tool Talk. I've had them a couple of months now, got them from Expert Trades to review and I've used them every day, so yeah, top tip, get some of these if you're a spark. So that's the Klein Tools wire strippers. There you go, much better than doing it with side cutters. do all of them in one go, do you reckon? No, maybe not all of them. So I reckon if we straighten all them out I can go down it with them. If I sound a bit funny it's 'cause I'm full stretch on my belly under a desk connecting these up. Untangle these, twisted pair, it's either the best or the worst invention ever. So these things are pretty good, so still need to chop off the bits of string, you can do them with them if you like, but you don't have to. This is all still to be tie-wrapped, just got it in, making sure it all works before we dress it all in. I'm just going to make off a RJ45 cable on a CCTV we're installing. I'm going to be reviewing these Klein Tools on a. This is Tool Talk from Expert Trades and you're watching Ben Curry from Electrical Innovations.
