What can you say, the best of the best, absolute perfection in wire strippers.

This is one of those purchases that I can't believe I ever lived without. I absolutely love these.I am an engineering professional and work with wires and solding and crimping on a daily basis. I had been using the traditional design of handheld wire strippers for a very long time, and had some high volume work that required stripping lots of wires to a specific length, so I looked for something to help with precision on stripping length. These seemed expensive but possibly worth it, so I took the dive.When I first got them, I though the build quality was suspect. They are super lightweight, all plastic construction. But I'm a believer after using them on a daily basis for about six months now. They're durable and do exactly what you need them to do. You can adjust tension for harder/softer wire jackets. You can adjust the strip length for repeatable strips. They're super fast. They're a pleasure to use, each and every strip. Sometimes you need to do a blank strip (just pump the gun without a wire in place) to get stripped bits to eject - they can get stuck in the tool jaws - but it's no big deal. They're self adjusting and *never* result in sheared wire strands. Every strip is great.The only issue is that there is a minimum strip length of about 5mm. You can go shorter but the tool doesn't help with repeatability on anything less than 5mm. That's perfectly fine - I got different tool for shorter strip lengths. These are absolute gold for what they were designed to do.

**Knipex Automatic Wire Strippers, 10-24 Gauge Review****Discovery and First Impressions:**I first heard about the Knipex Automatic Wire Strippers on Adam Savage's YouTube channel, Tested. I usually trust his recommendations, so I decided to give these a try. I have some experience with wire stripping, and I plan on doing a lot more, which is why I got them.**Performance:**These wire strippers are amazing when it comes to performance. They strip the ends of wires perfectly, which makes the process really satisfying. I've even found myself stripping spare wires just for fun. You can adjust how much wire you want to strip and how strong the tension is. Even with small wires, I've never had any issues with snapping them. The tool seems to adjust its tension really well, whether you set it high or low. There's also a cutter on top, though it's in a bit of an awkward spot, but it works fine.**Ergonomics:**The ergonomics of this tool are fantastic. It fits well in your hand with a full-handed pistol grip lever action that's comfortable to use. If you have a lot of wires to strip, this tool makes the job much more enjoyable.**Build and Material:**Now, this isn't a cheap tool. It's for people who plan to do a lot of wire stripping and want to save time. While it's a bit pricey for regular folks, it's worth it if you need to strip a lot of wires. However, it is a bit disappointing that the entire tool is made of plastic. Even though it's durable, I expected a bit more for the price. But knowing Knipex, their products are usually high quality and last a long time, so it's only a minor "annoyance" and I didn't dock any stars for it.**Overall Thoughts:**These wire strippers are a joy to use, which is surprising to say about such a tool like this. They're high-performing, likely to last, but come with a higher price tag. If you need to strip a lot of wires, these are worth considering. But if you're not sure if you need them, you probably don't.

Perfect German engineering. Don't waste your money on those trash wire stripper bits from China. Spend a little more and make your life easier. This tool is also really nice because the working end is pretty narrow which means it can strip wire in a tight spot where traditional scissor types can't.

Not cheap but works exceptionally well. Accurately strips insulation from a wide range of wire gages without damaging the wire. Tested it on a variety of wire gages within range of tool and perfect EVERY time. Adjusting for different gages and strip lengths simple and quick. Easy to operate one-handed in a tight area is a bonus not appreciated until you need to do that.Another nice feature is the stripping "blades" are replaceable if you should ever need to vs tossing it and buying another stripper.The only consideration may be the tool is not metal ... feels/looks like a tough glass filled nylon or similar. Plenty durable for most environments ... but, if you're working somewhere like an oil drilling platform or underground mine etc where your tools will take a physical beating day in day out, this may not be the greatest choice for longevity. But other than you too will wish you'd bought one a LONG time ago!

I use this mostly for 18-22 gauge wire, and it works fantastic. Really, really nice. Very high quality tool. I love it. Works in close quarters where you might not have enough wire length to use other automatic strippers. It's very fast. It doesn't squish, pinch, or leave marks on the insulation.You do have to be a little bit careful to adjust the depth correctly for the size of wire that you are stripping so you don't scrape or nick the strands. But then again, you still have to do that with any stripper.I recently panicked because the jaw was not resetting correctly and I thought it was broken... but it turns out I just had a bit of insulation that was stuck in the mechanism. Was able to fix it quickly.
