Sharp and durable!!! I never actually knew there was a difference between solid and stranded wire strippers. I used to use combo strippers for everything I did. Well, I noticed that a lot of times the strippers would cut one or two of the strands off and never made clean cuts or strips. After using these I will never go back! These are the best! Super sharp and make clean cuts in both the wire and insulation. I've been extremely satisfied with just about every Southwire tool I've used and these are no different!! I've used them more times than I can count and they're just as sharp as the day I got them! I post pictures and videos of all my tools on my Instagram @ctsparkyyy if you'd like to check some out

no more rust Nice stainless steel. Very poor grips on handle. Constantly slips off of tool. Very annoying. Holes in strippers for various wire diameters seem to be slightly undersized. Strippers constantly dig into copper when stripping. This has gotten better over the last year of use but still is an issue. The main reason i keep the strippers in my tool belt is for the ability to strip #8 and #6 wire. Also very handy for use in wet conditions. I wish the holes were larger and the grips stayed in place. Possibly a not so plastic feeling grip would be nicer.

Fast and Comfortable I received these stranded wire strippers about 3 weeks ago and since receiving them I have had several chances to use them. They are very comfortable in your hand and easy to strip with. I am left handed and often it is troublesome to unlock and lock wire strippers with your left hand, these were very easy to do and gave you a very positive feeling when locked so you knew they would not open up on your pouch. The spring will open the pliers up quickly but it is not too overpowering where you have to work to close them. The wire cutter and the color of the jaws and labels are my favorite part of these strippers. The wire cutter is quick and efficient and left a burr free cut. The strippers are silver with black letters for the wire size and screw size, I found this much easier to read than a dark colored stripper with gold letters and numbers. I found these every east to use and look forward to purchasing another set that would be designed for solid wire.

Love handles. I just received it and so far I love the handles, i haven't had them slip off like the previous review had. The double dipped handles are extremely comfortable and i wished they were on all my other tools. So far this wire stripper is easy to use and definitely if i were to lose mine, i'd buy another one in a heartbeat.

Compact and Precise I've used these strippers for a variety of projects. They are super sharp and take wire casings off effortlessly. Feel is ergonomic and the design is slim and compact. The only other thing I would like to see these strippers have is an option to strip smaller gauge wire. I believe the smallest is 12-14 gauge.

Good product Wire strippers have a very solid feel to them and cut nicely. The orange handle makes it easy to see on a cluttered workbench. I am not an electrician so not sure how they would hold up in a day after day use but I believe they will be a good addition to my shop.

Great Stripper Since getting these, i have only had 2 chances to use them, and both times, they have been fantastic. The second time i used them, it was sprinkling out, and the grips, while wet, never slipped off, nor became too slippery to use. Would definitely recommend

Rock solid Stainless steel construction is a great feature to keep them rust free. covers a good range of larger gauge wiring. I use them primarily for automotive accessory wiring, for which they work great. Most aftermarket automotive products require larger gauge wiring. My only complaint, if you could call it that, is not going up to 4 AWG stranded. But I understand this company is primarily catering to commercial/residential sparkys, so can't really fault them for not including a pretty standard large gauge automotive wiring gauge on the cutters. Produce clean cuts, with a nice solid, smooth action, and fit well in my hands. The lock keeps them closed until you need them, which is good, because they are SHARP! Also of note, these are priced the same as some of the cheap, garbage strippers out there that are not nearly as good of quality, so there's really no reason everyone shouldn't own a set. Why buy some junk at walmart or online when you can have a quality professional tool that will last forever for the same price? No brainer!

Your spec sheet say they cut much different gauge wire than what is displayed on the package.. product has 6-12 gauge as does the package. Again, different specs than on your web page... FYI.....thanks, James. By the way, like so far..
