Ahahaha what are you about to pick up?

[@shawncriner]

[@Sparky4Life913]

Thanks for the info and your take. I’m in my 33rd year of playing electrician. It’s interesting how strippers have evolved in my time. The ergonomic handles have really helped our trade in respect to carpal tunnel. You all know our hands are where we “make our hay”. Everyone stay safe. Work smart not hard.😬

The 9in 7-1 Milwaukee wire strippers are hands down my favorite. Sharp and long cutters for MC or larger gauge wire. 18--8 solid, 20-10 strnd. Has a wide nose to it which is great for twisting wires so you dont need to use your linemans anymore. If you're working in a confined space they might be a bit bulky but otherwise they are amazing.

[@sydneystmartin4354]

I use those I grind the tip down for a more needle nose. That and for 1/2 kos. Plus the crimper is super handy for carrying around less tools

[@nurab-sal1276]

For most of the medium sized wires, the Knipex Ergostrip is the nicest. Your hand is actually in front of the wire instead of next to it with the standard style of there "hole strippers", which makes it much better. Also, it is suitable for unsheathing the rubber of a big (3x 2.5mm² or so) cable.

[@Blizzard4242]

You have to try the weidmüller stripax, it's by far my favorite, it's similar to the fela but better and the cutter is butter smooth and requires no effort.

[@istvanm666]

Weidmüller is the best.

[@BTW...]

Finally, someone that knows about the BEST professional wire strippers that never rip out strands from the conductor. This guy omitted a review of these... which says he has much to learn.

[@Mike40M]

Remember testing them some 45 years ago. No problem cutting and stripping a mile of wire into 2" pieces in a test rig.

[@dillonrandall2520]

SouthWire S816SOL are the best wire strippers for residential electrical. I wire probably 50+ houses a year and this is hands down the best with all that I have tried. I also love the romex stripping variation (SNM1214) because it strips the sheathing of 14-2 and 12-2 while also having a 14 and 12 AWG wire stripper. Both designs feel great in the hand, are very rigid and durable, have 6-32 and 8-32 bolt cutters, and with the shape of them the loop hole in the frame makes an absolute perfect device loop.

[@lucasaubin1661]

I wire automation panels for a living and on an average day I strip 300-400 wire ends. I’ve tried 4-5 different strippers and the ones I always come back to are the Klein with the blue handles. Always a clean strip, precise, no damage to the strands and I prefer squeezing over pulling

[@lilranks]

My dad is an electrician i worked with him for a bit. One day he loan me his Klein stripper. N i wanted nothing else. I don’t do as much electrical work now but i have my own Klein for when i do.

[@dilldowschwagginz2674]

Ive been running the Klein K1412 strippers. Being able to quickly, cleanly and easily strip the jacket on a 12/2 or 14/2 is pure love

[@tinshum7412]

I purchased my first "Commercial Electric" wire stripper few years ago and I finished several jobs with it. Last year I picked up a Pittsburgh version of Klein stripper from Harbor Freight, with a nice red grip. They are not recommended by Pros. I agreed, they did their job nicely, just as other pro tools did.

[@UniverseAnomaly]

My go to is a knife and the 9 inch Milwaukee 7 in 1. Knife can open any gauge and in a box, and the 7-1s are so versatile, can use them as mini lineman’s and cut and strip.

[@paulhunt598]

I like the Klein cheap version. Small, inexpensive, durable, sharp and I constantly use the solid wire bending hole to form wire for termination. The needle nose is just the right size for the final squeeze around the termination screw. I like the compact nose with the stripper near the nose for close quarters work. I don't understand why some manufacturers still put the stripper function between the handles. This really frustrates confined working space. I tried the auto strip style about 40 years ago and found that was difficult to ensure that the conductor was in the correct slot and the tool had no close lock feature. It simply couldn't be stowed in a tool pouch. My Ideal version is still in virtually brand new condition. My Paladin "spin stripper" seemed ideal, but setting blade depth was too finiky. Mine has a blade rotate feature that turns the cutter 90 degrees for the lateral slit. It sort of worked, but it tended to slip to the bottom of my pouch and I went back to the razor blade knife using care and experience to control cut depth. Lenox used to make my favorite style that also had no tool blade change function. I own several and nurse them into geriatric age since no one offers a similar option today. The knife was simple, fat and ergonomic. I am retired and don't do much wireman work anymore. The Knipex forged strippers might still motivate me to think that I need another upgrade. A lot of folks like the oversized comfort grips. I prefer the thin dipped grips. I reserved my insulated tools for only live work. I think NFPA 70E still mandates keeping those functions separate. The insulated tools are awkward for my hand and since I don't like comfort grips pliers tools, I have double reason to avoid using insulated tools. The Klein forged strippers needle nose is too long for my liking on a stripper. I did mostly industrial work, so I limited NM experience. I own several pairs of the Klein NM strippers, but I seldom remember to get them and still strip NM with.y razor knife. Does anyone have a stripping solution for UF cable? I was introduced to UF in 1974. I still can't strip that stuff and avoid using it for only that reason.

[@Max_Marz]

As a genral mechanical technician, I bought the knipex strix because ultimate versatility is really important to me and they can handle stripping very small wires pretty well. I only wanna carry one small bag of tools around and that bag is supposed to save me the most trips back to a toolbox as possible. I also carry that older style of knipex scissor/shear combo as my main pair of scissors in that bag.

[@mgraen]

[@Mudder1310]

Low volt electrician here. My go to strippers are the crocs from Rack-a-tiers. Comfy, strips regular and romex, built in crimper, 6 and 8 bolt cut off, just great all around strippers. I’m testing out the Knipex precistrip strippers and can’t decide how much I need what they do.

[@americanelectrician]

I’ve got a pair on the way!

[@BTW...]

What do you mean by "Low Volt" ?

[@BTW...]

@@americanelectrician Most of the strippers you show are more suited to a butchers shop. Work all day terminating wires and every one of them will consume a lot of time or rip strands out of fine stranded cable. Many of these have been banned from shops I've worked in due to the primitive high risk of damage design. Get your hands on a set of Weidmüller 'Stripax' and learn what a professional tool is and how flawed every one of those 'set die' cutters are, if you can. The exception to this is the rotary cutter for 'large cables', more like a pipe cutter, having the small pivoting blade that allows drawing down the length of the cable. The brands of these I have used for 40 years, longer than you have been breathing, are Ideal and Weidmüller.

[@Mudder1310]

@@BTW... low volt or limited energy electricians specialize in circuits less than a half watt in power. So voice and data, fire alarm, nurse call, A/V, access control, that sort of stuff.

[@BTW...]

@@Mudder1310 ahhh, OK. Relates to current loading, using small gauge (CSA) conductors and thin insulation standards. So, in some situations your 'Low Voltage Electrician' could be dealing with 100V line PA systems. Here, the term/s that include the word Voltage are based on operation voltage. e.g. Extra Low Voltage = up to 36V. Low Voltage = 36V to 1kV. High Voltage above 1kV. I've worked at all these levels. We use 240V AC single phase in most domestic appliances... which are actually low voltage wiring systems. Given the variety of small wire gauges and cable construction methods in your "low Volt" field, I highly recommend seeking out a pair of the Weidmuller Stripax . Very quick and very gentle on fine wire strands.... real low effort and easy on your hands. After years in the trade RSI is a real pain. As I say, in a typical wiring job I could be dealing with small gauge mA instrumentation wiring and larger high current 10A - 63A wires in the same control panel. My one and only stripper does them all without looking for a specific cutter die to suit that wire size. It will even strip off the outer jackets of stuff like CAT5e, Coax and that Romex crap you use in Nth America.

[@ZackMeetsWorld]

The "grabber" part of the knipex combination pliers are really good for "crimping" big stranded cable back together if a strand gets lose. Just slowly spin while crimping and the cable will be good as new. I call it the kcm killer.

[@GailsonPvPwtf]

One method I learned to strip 4/0 out of necessity. I used to do wire pulls all the time. 1-3 wire pulls for townhome building a week. I was burning through utility blades. They're cheap when bought in bulk so price wasn't a problem. But the real issue is when I have to use that same utility knife for ripping out wires and the blade is just destroyed. So I got a pair of klein loppers with the curved blades, like the Klein 63050. Try biting the tip of the cable and spinning like you would strip wire with side cutters. Just until you feel the conductor. Now take your non-dominant thumb and place it on the back of the of plier and you'll notice the curved top of the pliers are also bladed. Use this to cut down the center of the insulation to the tip, once you get here, wedge the blade in the cut and you can flick the insulation right off.

[@BPo75]

About the same technique used with the CC-22s, right?

[@PaulSteMarie]

The cutter on the Klein Catapult is really great when working with finely stranded machine tool wire. It leaves a nice square end to insert in a crimp terminal or a ferrule. This was 12 AWG and 10 AWG with over thirty strands.

[@stephenkaczmar]

The only Milwaukee hand tool I own are their "6in1" strippers. They are not 6in1, but they are a needle nose stripper that goes up to 8AWG solid with curved shear style cutters and 6/8-32 cutters. I love em, and if it wasn't for using the 8/10awg so much I might get those Knipex.

[@Fabian-rp3rm]

It's a shame you didn't include the Klein Tools 11048 Yellow Strippers. Maybe an unpopular opinion, but favorite wire strippers without a doubt. So simple, so basic, yet so perfect. Comfortable handles and sharp. Small and springy. I always get these. I find bigger strippers a little clumsy

[@Hightex-lz5ky]

Hey here in norway all we youse for cabel stripping is the knipex kanelsaks 165mm

[@shockernot]

You should try some self sizing catapult strippers. I've had both self adjusting and predetermined size ones and can confirm they are a much better tool in all regards. They can easily strips just about any cable up to #10 awg. They can go even larger If you use the cutters on them to score the insulation first, I've stripped #6 awg no problem with that method. And on top of that they can even be used to strip the outer jacket on LV cable. One of the best tools I own tbh.

I like using my snap on automotive crimper cable stripper they have 2 different version 12-20 and 16-24 i believe are the 2 ranges. Carlyle from Napa also has carries a similar style made in taiwan, then OTC has a similar pair but the crimper has a right angle to it.

[@audiotecmark]

I love that you have those Knipex at the end. They're my favorite stripper/plier combo, totally different level with the others in my experience. The only thing I found to be better for my needs was the Knipex PreciStrip 16 for low voltage wiring. Way quicker with a dedicated tool like that to strip dozens of speaker wires, and rarely cuts copper strands from it. Some tools, especially cheap ones, will have you losing 20% of your strands when you strip it...

[@MrShwaggins]

What is the best type/version of wire stripper to use for fiberglass fiber braided insulated wire? Normally used in high heat applications.

[@ppdan]

7:25 love those, only problem is when you are working in a tight space ... but that's when I have to use my simple sidecutter. Yeah, I know I shouldn't use sidecutters to strip wires but it's the same that I have used for +30 years (yup they are that old) so I can say that I developed a good feeling using them over years.

[@connorman5511]

I agree with the knipex combination pliers and strippers being at the top of your list of good wire strippers, I thought they might have been a bit hyped up but they're by far the best pair I've ever used 👍 nice informative video as well. It's nice to see people getting straight to the point

[@lordcupkake]

The Irwin/Vise Grip auto strippers are the only stripper I use on 90% of my jobs. The other 10% are either too large, too small, or that horrible cheap thhn. I have the standard style and a knife and the amount of times I use a standard one vs a knife is still even 1-10. The auto stripper is the only way to be for anything flexible (industrial machine cabinets, etc) and that’s what I do. I also like its crimping functions. I rarely need a dedicated crimper outside of ferrules or again, large gauge wire where I’m using lugs.

[@MegaMoriarti]

I love stripping tools by Felo, Jokari. adjust automatically to the diameter of the cable from 0.2 mm to 6 mm, are very light, have a built-in cable cutter. When wiring a control cabinet containing hundreds of wires that have to be stripped to equal lengths and then crimped in a ferrule. The Felo / Jokari model will work best.

[@TheOystei]

I have a couple of wuerth and bacho strippers (they are the same tool, different color and i've seen other that look identical) that is the same style as your felo strippers, they are great for automotive work where most wiring is relativly small, induvidual stranded wires. the ability to set depths makes wiring up crimped connectors a lot nicer since you just set it at the correct depth for the crimp terminal and then just do all the wires and get the perfect amount stripped.

[@greapsoho]

At work we have to use the Ideal Stripmaster with the Mil-spec dies. If we use anything else we would get in trouble. Crazy expensive, but insane quality control and precision. If you have a knicked wire you can call Ideal and give them the individual blades serial number and they trace what happened.

Mine don't have any cutter, and I have never found that to be an issue in that I fit all to length prior to stripping, and diagonal cutters are far better for that anyhow (It *IS* a stripper and not a cutter by name, after all). Never broke a pair in all that time either . . .

I have the pair you love but I don’t know if they’re not broken in yet or what, but I find them, “sticky”, when stripping wires, like the hole is slightly too small for the wire.

You keep those knipex pliers in your pouch you say? They look like you just pulled them out of the package this afternoon.😂 Furthermore, if you used them every day, shouldn't you know that you don't thread the screws in but they still cut without damaging the threads like every single time. That's what sets them apart and, in my opinion, makes them worth the money. Anyways, thanks for the video. I hope you enjoy your new pliers 😉

You forgot about Knipex 16-95-01. All it's missing are shears
