13 72 8 KNIPEX Forged Wire Stripper - Product Video

The 13 72 8 Forged Wire Stripper is the latest innovative product from KNIPEX Tools. Designed specifically for the US market, the new tool strips 10 to 20 AWG wire, both solid and stranded. The most exciting innovation of this tool is the non-threading screw cutting feature. Simply push the screw in and cut. It can also cut screws from the front or the back. This durable tool is forged from high-grade special tool steel.

[@1001JStacy]

I've had mine for about couple months now and as a service electrician, these are the best wire strippers I've ever owned. Not just the fact they're really good at stripping, but the durability. I use them to ream conduit, bang out knockouts, outdoors stripping wire and old muddy dirty christy boxes, out in the rain, they do not fall apart. Hell I have accidently shorted out a wire i was stripping and it even survived that. pretty much what i'm saying is that you can beat these up and they'll keep going. I Think the spring being internal in a genius idea, keeps it from getting messed up.

[@bryanmccarthy6493]

As a mechanic, knipex are by far and away the best pliers, cutters, strippers that I have ever owned. Seriously I love them. Every mechanic, trades man or dyi guy needs a few pair.

[@scrambler350]

Welp, now I gotta buy THESE. ^ Just picked up the 87-00-100's, need to do a review/comparison video on them.

Darn you KNIPEX! Didn’t think I needed a new set of pliers until I saw these.

The same tool to strip and twist the wires - marvelous idea. I have not seen these around town yet. At $100 each I am not surprised.

[@mostlikelywedoitservices6926]

I bought a pair. By far the best stripper I have ever bought. Beats all the other big brands I own. The last pair was Milwaukee which I still really like but they don't even come close to the Knipes stripers.

[@sasukechidoree]

got these babies and they are everything you could ask for in a wire stripper even if you dont strip wire daily when you do you will be so pleased with these they cut like butter and make ur life easier

[@tcatrccreations]

These are most definitely excellent! However, I would like to make some suggestions. In a future updated version, I would like to see these offer the ability to strip 10 AWG strained (and keep the other stripping sizes available as they are now, and just add the 10 AWG option to it), and potentially add a universal crimper. Then, offer new version in a comport grip AND 1000V rated insulated version. For me, this would essentially be the best of almost everything.

Knipex has the best pliers. The only exception could be their standard long nose, too thin to handle solid 10 AWG, but they work great on solid 14 AWG. Klein has an outstanding product too only slightly less preferred than knipex.

[@basheerahmed9703]

[@redmudpei]

Alright, you can cut the screws, but I would of liked to see how they thread into something afterwards. Having to thread them into other tools allows the threads to be cleaned up when you unscrew them from the tool. And I never had an issue putting them into a fixture afterwards vs just chopping them with a regular pair of side cutters.

[@mevlutceylan5761]

[@griffinstrunk]

Because of the angle you insert the 8-32 or 6-32 screw into the pliers, it shears the screw perfectly and with no burr. It is really surprising to everyone that sees me use these.

[@reydel1458]

what kind of screws are these aluminum? i bought this model felt like i had girly hands i couldnt cut through screws.

[@mikenormandy9250]

I am usually a fan of the red dipped plastic handled Knipex tools, but DO enjoy the comfort (Blue and Red grips) on the larger cobras (250mm & 300mm) Anyone have a recommendation on which handle type I should get for these pliers? I NEED TO HAVE THESE! Edit: Seeing how the price of the Comfort Grip is about $8 more than the standard, I think I'll go standard LOL

[@spevakdesigns]

I'm sure you've long since purchased, but I always pause before I order their tools and think about this also. My go to now is thinking about what I'll be using them for and whether they'll be an all day tool or just something you grab to work on something for a few minutes here and there. I also look at my hand and think how it felt the last time using a similar tool. And lastly I consider three trade-off of the extra bulk in storage and in use. I ordered these in comfort grip as I imagine using them setting up outlets which is often an all day task, and usually get sore in the hands after being on that program for a full day or two. Any short handled cutters are nice to get cushy also. Especially ones that also shear screws.

[@juanpadilla3203]

Does it really cut MC that easy? Anyone w experience?

[@slurryz]

So how does this fair for safely stripping the jacket/'sheath' off of 14/12G, 2/3-wire NM ("Romex") cabling? I see other strippers with this specific cutting die built in and it its 100% mandatory IMO for a 'universal' wire stripper.
